Yeah, I know! ;-)

Let me clarify:
I'm not a token buyer .. never have been. Yet, winning the league is trivially easy.
Champion's league is more challenging because one bad day (Nordeus troll result) can end your season, but still, I won 3 CLs in a row and usually make the quarterfinals at least. (Four firsts, two seconds, in nine tries.)

Cup is a nightmare. I've NEVER played in a cup less than three levels higher than my team. I've only had three seasons where I actually had ANY chance of winning the cup - ended up with two third place finishes, and last season, I got trolled in the quarterfinals.

I WILL win the cup ....even if I have to reverse the tactics used against me and go into a new season with just 1 star players after I save up 500 tokens ... which is just BUYING a win, so it would be particularly unsatisfying :-(
Anyway .. I WILL win the cup .. and then i will quit Top eleven.
