The cup is an absolute joke. It punishes those with strong teams whilst those with weak ones get easier draws.

I think the cup needs to be re-designed and done so that you can't be put in to a cup competition with other teams that are more than 1 level above you. So if you are level 15 for example you are either in a level 14/15 cup if you have a weak/average side or a 15/16 cup if you have a average/strong side.

From around season 5 or 6 I've always struggled in the cup as I ALWAYS end up playing teams at least 2 if not 3, 4 and even some times 5 levels higher than me. It means I'm in a stupid position where I've won 25 Champions Leagues (or something daft like that), yet only 3 cups - and all those were at the first few levels. In theory the Champions League should be the hardest to win, but its actually the easiest of the 3.

A system that punishes actual players and people with strong teams is actually very counter productive. There is no incentive to have a strong team as you are punished for it.
