I'm level 4.
I assigned my skill points, so that i get high level opponents in the cup.
I got level 7, so more money for me.
Last season, the best team in the cup, level 6 to my level 3, kncked me out in the semifinal.
The money you can get out off playing the seme league opponents in the cup, does not cover even 1 good young player.
So i will take the money form the cup, and win the league and CL, anytime
