That was a seriously silly question in hindsight lol. Thanks for the answer.

It will be interesting to see how I fair in the cup this upcoming season. I was lucky the team I took over 4 games into the season had survived the 1st round and the early part of my tenure. After I started major upgrades it got a lot easier and I didn't lose a single game at full strength in any competition after that (lost one 2nd leg cup tie when I played 9 bench players after a huge 1st leg road win).

I hope to do the same this season. I have to survive at first and improve the roster again to try and stay in the race.
