The new Champions league draw system

[pcmacdaniel]

Guys! Did you noticed the fact you are struggling with almost same guys in cup and CL?

Discussed in PMs with Nik about cup manipulating... You prolly know i'm doing since almost the beginning (of my career). So far it was so good and worked like a charm... last 2 (maybe 3?) seasons are nightmare for me... What if manipulating for cup is not working anymore? I selled many-many good players for nothing?
keeping only 11 good + 3 very weak method...

I think you're correct about cup manipulation no longer working for the last two seasons; i'm not sure about this season. I played the last two seasons with an 8* team and did not manipulate the draw in either case (144%-151% two seasons ago; 131% to 144% last season). All other teams in the cup were either my level or +1 level, none were more than 1 level above my team. I would think with a high 7* or 8* team I would have drawn teams more than 1 level above mine, but didn't happen.

little half-off: Aaaand read about this... this is getting ridiculous... unbalanced cup draw

And i'm linking just for:
1. got the other two lev22 power team in my CL either... lol
2. if there is a 160% (from his pov) guy on my server why don't distribute in +2 (yes plusTWO) CL and cup?
