I've reduced my team down to an average 2* and managed to get a favourable CL and Cup draw ( 2 of the teams in my CL group are inactive)

I should have enough in my team (7 of my players are 5* or 6*) to get through the first round of the Cup today and tomorrow without strengthening, then on the third day it's transfer frenzy.
I'll let you know if the league draw is at my level or if I'm thrown in with teams who far better than me.
