With the rest packs saved over 3 seasons, this should become a 6 star first team in a couple of days.

Bar some amazingly bad luck, i should be able to secure the trophy i crave so badly to put an end to my top11 demons.

Interestingly, i am now perhaps the only person in the entire game who knows EXACTLY how the cup draw works.

For those who are curious: it seems my original theory was wrong. Fortunately i took that possibility into account and had taken precautionary measures in order to ensure success. I can safely say that stage 3 was the key, a little stroke of genius if i may say so myself.
Yeah I worked out that the Cup Format was based on your best 14 players, I had 3x 6* squad players going out of contract and had 3x rubbish retiring replacements while my main players were left out of contract, signed them back up, noticed my quality was down 3 points and I got matched with a team that was 3 points lower.
