If you want a better Cup draw then have three or four (or even more) 1* players in your squad.
This will bring down the average rating of your whole team and you will be drawn against lower quality teams in the cup, but still have your top quality 17 or 18 players to choose from.
Wow I never new that!, I thought the draw was just random between your league, one higher and one lower.
x 17 x 5 x 1
Double winners x 5 , Treble x 1 ...Perfect league wins 26/26 x 1 (L8).
