I will think a format different from the one you mentioned.... if i came up with something good i tell you, so you can add option to the list... for now i'm for option 3
Option 1 - Old Format (Friends)
Option 2 - Current Format (Quality)
Option 3 - Level Banded Format
Option 4 - Play teams of the same level Format

Why not band team from 4 levels and let's only 2 lower levels teams play the first rounds
Make it closer bands for the 3rd option and I'm all for it.
I'd say a 3 level difference is fairer
Season 15 - Level 15
League Winners (14) - Levels 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
26-0-0 league (4) - Levels 3, 4, 7 & 8
Undefeated in league (11) - Levels 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 14
Cup winners (2) - Level 1 & 14
Cup 3rd place (1) - Level 12
Champions League Winners (10) - Levels 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14
Champions League Runners up(1) - Level 9

It is fairer, sometimes you get to experience being the underdogs as well as being the favourites when your at the top of your current level band. I am L16 this season, so I would be put in against L14,L15,L16 and L17 and you would get an easy preliminary against an inactive or semi active L14 team to start by the cup seedings.

what about this: 128 teams banded in 4 levels.... 32 from each level. all putted together in groups of 4 (1 from each level). only 1 game against every team in the groups phase. then the winner of every group enter the top 16 round.

July add my option to the poll please.... i think is the only one that gives advantage to non token buyer and token buyer at the same time. And more... gives great competition in the top 16 round

And now is not banded? I have from level 10-13 or 14 not sure.
But even like that with "banded" the chances can be low, what you can do to a normal team if he's level 14 and you are level 10?
If that team will have decent players, 5 and few 6 stars you won't be able to do anything.
ok, but one day you will be the higher level team for sure... not like it's now.... read my option format
The banded format works much like the old cup system if you didn't read it, sometimes you get to be the underdog when your lowest level in your band and sometimes you get to be the favourites if your the highest level in your band, thus it evens up everyones chances over a number of seasons.
You would get your best chance of winning the cup at L5,L9,L13,L17,L21,L25... etc.
