Haha, i used to hate this way too, i love my squad so much that i dont want to sell any of them at the end of the season.
But it's the best way to win Cup, or you can only bet on your luck, because the element of surprise is too BIG in cup matches, a team with 5Q higher, counter formation, manager presence would still lose.
On the other hand, if you have too many "valuable" players in your squad (young, 6-7 stars, have SAs), you cant follow this strategy, no one wants to sell those players!
But i suggest, we shouldn't build a team with 100% fast trainer, should only use them on important positions: AMR/AML/MC/DL/DC, other positions we should use regular players bought from market, use them for 1 season, then sell them. They are so called "the expendables"![]()
