yea, me too.
I don't think players out of contract don't count for the top 14.
Some mistake is here.
Anyway, Moi or some other dev, can you answer this ?
If I have 8 players 6* and 6 players 1* and from those 8 6* players, 5 are out of contract, the game will give me 5 players, *3 oldies (ready for retirement), ok ?
So, the Cup draw will be by
1) Those 8 6* players and the 6 1* players ? (The Cup draw is happening before the game will give me the oldies)
or
2) By the 8 6* players + the 5 3* oldies (as they have higher Q than the 1* players) + one 1* player ? (The Cup draw is happening after the game will give me the oldies)
* This change is not gonna make any difference because there is no limit in levels so if I 'm gonna be (finishing with a 5-6* team) in a Cup with some managers from 3 lvs above with low q teams and if they decide to be active again, they 'll just buy 8* players (for me) and gonna make a walk in the park.
Even if I drop the quality of my team and with this way I managed to win some Cups, I don't find it fair and I believe that there should be a lv limit - not more than one level above managers.
But I believe that maybe TE has this system just for an extra challenge for the managers so I swim with the flow of the river.
