I've been having +1 Champions Leagues on and off (mostly on) for the past 5 years, and I've had a lot of success in that time. It's a token of your success in the previous season and the relative strength of your team. As with all these things, you have to learn to take the challenge on and deal with the situation in terms of team formation, tactics and orders. I can't see any reason why Nordeus will change the Cup and CL/SL as they will lose flexibility in making the draws.
