For those of us that were able to win multiple cup at lower level - the cost was not been able to buy good players from the market beacuse we are close to the top level on our server and a 5star player on the open market always lead to a frenzy bidding war, in thesame vein, we make less in terms of price money. On the other hand, folks on old server stuggle to compete in cup beacuse of playing against much higher level manager (sometimes over 20+average). They stood no chance of winning and got smatched in the early rounds. So guys bid their time and once the level up, they fancy their chances.
Now the new cup format, this was an attempt to try to level the playing ground and pitch folks of equal relative rating together but that missed the point. We see Chealsea and ManU etc battling against low level teams, invariably this new format is no longer in the spirit of cup compettion!? Because of this, i feel for higher level manager that paid their dues before winning a single cup.
Now Cup is even stronger than CL.
My take is, I like competing -you can't always win even if you have the best squad. The odds are stacked against me getting to the playoffs of the cup but i don't care. Let the game begin because the eventually winners will have to fight every inch of the way and take nothing for granted.
