1. Since they've been drawn in the higher end of the Cup, while we've been drawn in the lower end of the Cup or even middle. It's actually a bonus since usually those teams are abandoned, so more money.
2. Relative and controversial.
3. Yes.
4. Maybe. David has FK SA and decent attacking numbers, so yes. Talking about CK SA, I have 2 — ST/AML Torrano and DL/DC Klochkov. But Klochkov, despite taking more corners than Torrano, had fewer assists. Torrano leaded last season's assist chart for the club, and he too had decent attacking skills. Moral of the story: There are virtually very few Roberto Carloses in the game.
5. Definitely, especially when red arrows used on fullbacks. Klochkov and Jorge play leftback and rightback respectively, and have been getting 5+ goals and a good number of assists.
6. Technically speaking, yes. Offside trap require one line of defence, so with man on man marking, they'll stay close to their opponents, who aren't in a straight line and it also makes it harder to communicate.
