Cup and association draws are the only where managers from different levels compete (champion and champ. league draws are between same level players at least until now for my level. i dont know if this changes too later).for associations the players quality matters and its not a problem if you compete against much higher level players. but for cup is a problem. when the draw took place at beginning of season most of the teams where almost same quality. but after 1-2 days there were 4-5 teams which increased their quality 10-15% just by adding 2-3 players they bought from scout or recommended. how can i compete this? this is unfair competition because they are able to buy players who are close to 7 stars for their level but against us they are 8 stars. so my recommendation is to arrange cup draws only from same level teams or the system to arrange those scout and recommended players that were bought after season started (not those that already existed on team before season started), to drop one star on cup games against players who are lower level. when they compete same level teams, those players can have their star back of course. i believe this will help fair competition
