[madflo19]

This was the hardest cup i ever won,but i was also very lucky,first, the best team in the competition was knocked out in the 1/8 finals,second,in the semifinals the guy i was playing against,left his best players out and put in the reserves
this is the guy knocked out in 1/8 finals

Luck still is an important factor in the Cup.

This is my team last day of this season.
Ok, those 7* just got the 7th star.


I was thinking to sell my player Willian as he 's gonna be 26 y.o. and slow in training and development but he scored 3 goals in my Cup final and I changed my mind. I 'll go with 8 high q players and 6 low q, fro the Cup draw (instead of 7 +7).

As this season is ending, I won the league and the Cup but both my teams failed to win the CH.L. - defeated in semi finals.
So, I had the time to sell my players and keep a mix of 14 low and high q players
* When I say high, for me it's 6*, near to 7*. Those players below are 7* but just in the beginning.
That's how I play without spending a fortune for packs.
Taking a 5* players team with fast trainers, ending the season with those players earning a star and the next season, with those 5* players again, doing the same.
What really helps is to win some points difference in the league to secure it early, so to have the time to "clear" the team and sell the players you want.
The last games of the season day25/ day26 I use whatever I have in the team.
Today (the last day), both my teams won with those low q players in the first squad - funny


ready for the Cup game tomorrow

My next oppo in the Cup (a 5* team, 3 levels bellow) , change the time of our first leg , twice
4 wasted tokens

[nash123]

I don't buy tokens!! I only collect some, if there's an offer like: install and open xyz for 1-6 tokens, but this doesn't happend at the whole season.
I only "farm" (green) packs - since the new update, there are only 15-30/day.

I'm at season 4, manager 4
League, I'm unbeaten - but there was no team with a manager...
CL (Final): tomorrow vs my wife.

Cup (L8) - winner (Screenshot)
First round: L5 last season Triple-Winner 5:2/1:1

All the following teams were (slighty) stronger than me.
Second round: L6 manager (undefeated at league - 23 wins of 24) 2:0/6:0 (maybe he missed to rest his team? oO )
Third round: L6 last season double winner (cup and league) 2:0/2:0
1/8 Final: L6 last season League winner, CL and Cup Vize: 0:1 (lose)/2:0
1/4 Final: L5 last season League winner 1:0/2:1
1/2 Final: L7last season Double winner (CL/Cup), League Runner up 3:0/1:0
Final: L4 last season Double winner (L/CL), Cup 3.place, tokenbuyer. His team was ~150% (mine 121%): 1:1, 4:2 on penalties

Last season I also won the cup - with nearly the same team (bought only a new GK and one DC).

I'll keep my team again. Do drills, which depend on my opponent (strengh/time), mostly they are low: 5-7% condition.
I change formation/tactic, if it's needed.

I don't manipulate things, to get a better draw. I like to think about next opponent, how to beat him, how to set tactics...
Maybe I lose vs my wife tomorrow, and also lose the triple... but that's life. If her team do better or I'll get bad luck... it doesn't matter. My Squad had a fantastic season and won a really hard competition.

I'm looking foward to the next season.
