Why i have to play against biger levels in cup?

[Matteo de Clemente]

Hi,nobody wants to punish anyone,nor your have to spend money if you won't.

Cup tournements are different from league tournements ,because they are grouped by team levels.
So,let's say,that a 17 level Cup has a mean quality between 90 and 100 (it's only an example): if your team has a 93 level quality and a 15 league level,you may also face a 18 level team with a quality of 98.

Consider we're talking about a mean quality,but your opponent should also have an illegal tactic,or have one only strong player he doesn't want to use in Cup, and other normal players,or,simply,you should be clever to choose the best strategy to prepare your team.

If you don't succeed,don't worry,it's a good experience and a further amount of money.The most significant earnings are obtained winning a League (the opposite of real life Leagues).
