I am LV8 in a cup LV13, what does that mean?

I am in my 8th season at level 8, haven't tanked, haven't missed the top 7, won 4 leagues. I took to heart advice to downgrade my quality at the end of last season for a better cup draw. I tried, but apparently not hard enough. Wasn't willing to cut loose my $15M fast trainers who got to the low 6* and were not marketable.

As a result, I got a league draw where most teams are at my quality or higher and entered the cup that (according to this payout table http://forum.topeleven.com/top-eleve...onsorship.html) is Level 13. By the way, does it say anywhere else that this is a Level 13 cup, the way it says LEAGUE LEVEL 8, for example?

I got curious what it means to be in a cup for which I am seemingly 5 levels underqualified. Well, it's not as bad as that.

Of the 64 teams

Level	# of teams	Percentage
7	3	5
8	35	55
9	16	25
10	8	13
11	1	1
12	1	1

So, I am in a good company where the majority of the teams are at or below my level and only 42% of the teams are above my level.

We'll see if the winner comes from the 17% of the teams that are two or more levels above me. Some of those teams have 7* players already (though not many). Other teams look abandoned, with illegal formations. We shall see.

that means in the first 1-3 rounds maybe you can have some chances vs semi-abandoned teams.
later, facing the active ones, you 're gonna be eliminate.
Finally, a team from one lv above gonna win the cup with a full 7* (and maybe some 8*) players.
That's my guess.
Waiting for your news.

Last season I was level 6 in a level 12 cup. The level 11s and 12s were not very competitive and possibly abandoned. The toughest competition was from the active level 8s and 9s. Somehow I pulled off winning the cup. So it's not impossible.

That means your team quality is so high that it's more or less equivalent to that of a L13 manager, who's in your Cup. Cup level is the level of the highest manager in your cup.

So once again, where does it say that my cup is level 13 -- other than the table I linked in the OP?

Im level 10 with my main team & face level 15 join the club lol :)

Or click through all the teams and find the highest level. But that takes forever.

Ponzu,
Go to manager on the mobile app & check trophies it will give you the level of cup for last season ex: quarter finals cup level 10
This seasons will not show till later.

That you are out.


lolo well as I've been ... maybe more than 3 2 years in Cups of +3 levels or 4-5... I usually leave this competition to focus in CL and League so I can manage it better... the only time I went for Cup 2 consecutive seasons in a case like this I arrived to Semifinals facing 8*-9* teams in many rounds. As I train phisicall/mental of many players to 9-10* I had chances, but thats all.

I still suggesting and defending that a Cup of same level would be more attractive and would increase the activity and fight between teams to win it.
Actually with this system the Cup give market advantadge to low Q teams of better levels that many times are out of CL places in their leagues, so actually the Cup is a trophy for low Q. teams of high levels than your.

Thanks. Last year I was LV7 in cup LV10. It is hard to imagine that I jumped three cup levels. I guess I'll find out eventually.

How do you know that? Is the matrix wrong? I went by the payouts. They call is level 13.

matrix isn't wrong, you had a 5 star team with some 6 star players, hence you are in a cup one rank above your level, rating cup by highest level player is deceptive.

I was in a LV10 cup last season, I would be surprised if I dropped down to LV9 this season, I wasn't that aggressive selling off high rated players. That is, I was very aggressive listing them, but in the absence of buyers, I did not have it in me to cut them and take a $$ loss.

My guess is I am in a LV11 cup. I guess we'll find out when I lose. No one seems to doubt it :) I just don't understand how the matrix labels it Level 13 and you say it isn't wrong. I compared the payout table I am shown in the RULES to the matrix and it matches up with Level 13.

Or are you saying that it may be called "Level 13 Cup" in T11, but realistically it is a L9 cup? That I can accept.

yeah the last one

Well, I like to think that I am bravely fighting my way through LV13 cup :) But at least we are on the same page now.

Last season I was L10 and I was in a L13 Cup. Now I find L14, and of course I just lost on just the second round. I will probably never win.

Why is the cup so different from the other 2 tournaments? Why must it be so hard without any reason?

Judging by team level may be wrong, but considering that you can lose by much weaker teams for no reason whatsoever it doesn't make any difference.
