How to win the cup ?

[Buffs Mad]

The Cup is most competitive I think because it has more players in it of a similar quality and, for managers that develop their teams, it means higher level teams (usually the lower or mid quality teams of their level). Higher level teams are not necessarily better but they do have access to higher level players.

I'd imagine that artificially managing your quality works best if you go really low (not low enough and you could get caught out) - then YOU are trying to become one of those higher level teams that can improve their quality easier and gain the advantage. (My 3rd team at lvl 3 was so rubbish it was in a lvl 3 Cup whereas my main was in a lvl 6).

I don't know if this is the main problem but I'd guess the main problem with the strategy is you might not get the players you need immediately because the market is so competitive at the start. But you will be with similar quality teams so you have a chance of being OK if you avoid someone with similar strategy.

Btw, I didn't saw that only 14 best players are counted. I said I had been told that but that I didn't personally know it. I do think its probably right however, since it corresponds to 11 players and 3 subs.
