This season is ending, so it's time to do some considerations:

1) The new cup format is too easy. Cup was harder when it had 128 teams, was hard but simpler when it had 64 quality-equal teams, now it's simply too simple.

2) Nivea Men League is useful only for trebles. Group stage matches are hardly followed by anyone; and this extends also to knock-out phases. But, knowing there is no difference in winning Champions League and Nivea Men League except for money prizes, treble is given in both cases, it is better to drop down there and have an easier treble.
I start to see no point in this cup, I have played it 2 times (the inaugural edition when it was a must-have, and this edition in order to have more probability to do the treble that I did); maybe it is better to drop it.

3) It was really unfair to group together equal-quality teams even at Level 1. With my second team which was tanking for AC I found myself with teams doing the same tanking strategy.
