Suggestions for Cup draw

[Tactician]

I think "Best 14" is the easiest to manipulate team quality at the moment of Cup drawing, while "average the quality of all teams throughout the season, or past 2-3 seasons" is the hardest to manipulate but it is also difficult to implement. Points of view of supporters of 2 sides must be different.

I am neutral to the suggestion. I don't like the design of Cup because it is unfair. But it provide a different challenge to managers.

It is unfair in the way that higher level teams have access to higher quality players and thus the managers can significantly strengthen their teams, but what makes it more unfair are those users that trick the Cup draw by significantly reducing the quality of their squad by keeping 1-star players. Such users are those that have the intention of boosting their quality once the Cup draw is done. A system can be designed and implemented to detect such things, for example, to detect if any 2 or more players in the squad are in the lower extremities of quality as compared to the average quality of the first 5-8 players. Then, such extremely low quality players, if ever present, can be neglected for the average quality count for the Cup draw.
