Spend much I guess by the look of your record but maybe not as much as some. Its your prerogative to do so as well so good luck to you. I start every season token poor and spend almost everything I have just to make a competitive team. I refuse to pay more than I feel a player is worth to my team and so I am a slow starter every season and come home strongly. Cups football to me is just a money maker and so I care little about those comps. The League and Associations is where its at for me so really the cups usually get my second string team at least early rounds and group stages. Still my best team has a decent record in the league , 11 seasons , 4 Winners , 2 Runners Up and a third while never having finished lower than 7th Same team has managed , despite me using the second stringers , to get to 1 CL Final , finish 3rd on 3 occasions , win 1 Cup and finish 3rd once. My Association has moved up a level every season and is in Gold1 next season.
I am quite happy with my efforts so far and am still learning this game and consider those efforts a bit better than mediocrity. Still each to their own for entertainment and ego massaging which is all those who show their trophy list as a signature are doing, same thing happens in most games I have played and it isnt really my thing. Again each to their own.
