The "Cup" is another Top Eleven marketing bait.

It's made to attract those managers who don't really pay attention to the game. You get an easy trophy, you may start paying attention to the game, thinking you are a genius. Then frustration comes and who knows you buy some tokens to feel you are a Top Eleven MASTA again.

It relies on a simple strategy: You have a 3-4 stars team, you get paired with lower level teams. You get a couple of 5 star players (which look like 6 and 7 to your opponents), you get an easy win and you think you are a Top Eleven MASTA!!!
