I sell 3 or 4 weaker players each season and keep a relatively small squad of good quality-about 18 players averaging over 6 stars.

anyway, each year I get put in the cup with players of a similar team quality rating, however they can be from one or two levels above me. I find this quite frustrating, as they have the opportunity to buy players better than I can if they wish. I have also found that these teams can have a brilliant squad of about 14 players but another 10 'duds' who bring the whole average right down. so in the 1st round of the cup this year I think each match earned me 400k or something. I was against a guy from level 7 (two above me). do you think he was getting 400k a match as well or is he getting more since he's from a higher level?

anyway i'm fed up spending money, only to see little or no cup advantage. nordeus are clearly wanting me to spend more. however I am going to change my tactics and buy lots of 3 star players who are free agents to bring my average down, hopefully giving me a kinder draw.

anyone have thoughts/suggestions/advice on this?

would anyone like to see a cup comp. of just teams from their level?
Think about it from the point of view of your league opposition, they haven't got a chance of competing against a token buyer such as yourself unless they bought tokens themselves.

Remember, money doesn't always buy success, there's pro's and cons to everything. I'm in the same boat as you but you can only complain so much within reason.
