Where is the challenge?

Good teams are needed in Cups, CLs and (some) Leagues,... we don't need one more competition, where money talks. I want a challenge, not to be a farm for those guys, who can't manage.
We were against such a strong FA, had so much luck (it was luck, not managing!!!) to reach to final... final was boring, because they were ~20% weaker... no challenge, only boring games.
Agreed, but I don't know what can be done except for a balanced draw. But still, someone has to pick the short straw and face a stronger association. I think that is one reason why the implemented loans, to balance out the teams and let managers help out a weaker team in the association. However, the quality difference can be really wide.
Too bad, because although we were the strongest association in the tournament, it wasn't so easy since we lost 7 matches. It was funny, especially since the away games weren't so easy. One small mistake and you give the opponents 3 points.

On a brighter side, if you aim for bonus prizes you will always get one even if smaller. Winning surely gives 5 packs for each type and 50 points, but even if you lose it's no big deal, you will still get some points towards promotion, packs and you are ready for another association tournament. It just take some more time, simply. Soon or later everyone wins, at least from my point of view
