How to win the cup ?

Few seasons ago I left my team Celtic abandoned with reserves left in 1st squad and few players had yellow triangle due lack of players (1st team ones were injured/suspended/tired). What initially was setup for 1 match, finished up as setup for whole season because I didn't play TE few weeks after that day (due some private reasons). When I got back, I was shocked when found out that my wounded team won the Cup.
I've tried to win it for seasons, used tactics, strong players, counter formations, couldn't do it and then suddenly my teams wins it with weak line-up. Once I even tried to decrease avQ to 3* before season start and then bought 5* players, had 2* stronger team than whole competition and got trolled against abandoned 3* team, lost due away goal rule. After that I changed my priorities in TE, now Cup is very low on that list, I don't care much about it.

Haha cup trols hurt the most, personally i like to win the cup more than anything else.. this is why i was trying to figure out how to do it a year ago.. now it's all clear ;D cup isnt problem anymore.

I'm trying a new tactic this year, buy 2 norgens each season, I will then have the resources to train them (if they're any good) to 8*, maybe even 9*. They will then be in my team for at least 6 seasons, as I will sell them as a 2*. This way I should have enough quality to put out a good squad against tough teams and still have a lower quality average. Also I think having a couple of outstanding players can be better than having a team of 4-5 stars, but we will find out
