Well I like it. Of my two teams, one went out early and the other is doing well. As an occasional minor token buyer, running a middle of the road team, I am enjoying having more of a chance.

One concern I have though, it is easy for somebody willing to buy success to take the competition. Wait a few days in to the new season with a weak team and get selected for an "easy" cup competition. Then spend spend spend buying 5* and scouts. You will then have a high quality team in a low quality cup. Barring the inevitable hiccups, you should easily take the 1st prize.
