The only reason I couldn't win this Cup is because I was the only lvl 3 manager in the competition against mostly lvl 5's, and this even by starting the season with 4/5* players (no scout).

I find this selection system quite messed up to be honest...
I think it is the only way to make things somewhat fair. It groups together the scout buyers and only by wasting a ton of money can you get around it. There was one idiot that sold his whole team and bought the worst players so he would be in a low cup draw, then replaced them all with scouts once the cup was drawn. What a waste of money and brains. and yes he won, which is basically cheating. I remember the goof saying that it wasnt cheating, but playing by the rules set by Nordeus. But at the end of the day, it is not playing fair and sportsman-like, so it is cheating.
