I still prefer pure random league drawing. It is fair. I don't object grouping friends into same league. It may not be very fair but may make the game more interesting.

In fact, I enjoy the competition with similar quality teams under current league draw system. But it reduces the meanings of league level of cups because average qualities of different league greatly varies. A team may still group with teams with same qualities no matter it promotes or not. It is ridiculous that league level is more important in Cup competitions.

Current league draw system which heavily based on qualities gives too many advantages to token/cash rich teams because they have more resources to manipulate teams qualities at different stages of a season. It also creates an atmosphere that managers concern more on qualities of players rather than factors maintaining player form or morale. This makes this game looked more like a game manipulating some figures but it's not true.
