Never won cup

[El Pistolero]

It´s probably beacuse we are new (like myself), and don´t know/see the difference. I can only speak for myself and what my friends told me. They could win and manage easily before the change, but now they are in "disadvantaged" or in the "sh*t hole" as everybody else.

Hopefully we'll have a turn in the easy boat but no, they've apparently changed it haha.

I am not and never will be a token buyer.

+1!!!!

But how do you give everyone a fair chance? Old cup format you can have teams 3 levels apart, same with the new one - so maybe it's harder for you if you used to be a top seeds and also high level, but definitely easier at lower levels

+ those teams 3 levels above are token buyers/scouts, so it's like playing a team 4 or 5 levels above.

I'll be surprised when I don't

Much respect for this post.

The thrill is in the chase not the catch.

I would be sooooo bored of buying an unbeatable team, I'd stop playing.

Old cup format it was L2 vs L15 in the preliminary rounds which was a big problem and pointless and needed to be eradicated. Teams off all levels chucked into the cup and basically the strongest sides were seeded to reach the final.

I once suggested a Level Banded format, L1 newbie cup, L2-L5, L6-L9, L10-L13, L14-17, L18-L21, L22-L25, L26-L29 and so on... Making some cups you enter as underdogs and some cups you enter your amongst the favourites.

Yeah, my second season I got absolutely destroyed by a 7 star team.

Yeah remember season 2... I was L2 and played against a L8 team in the cup which had an active manager and had 9* players and destoryed me 6-0 in the 1st leg at home, funnily enough my 4/5* team at the time got a respectable 2-1 defeat in the 2nd leg even though the tie was over.

I struggled to get many 4 or 5 stars at Level 2 so imagine how bad I was lol

I'm at level 5 and won both the league (2) that the champions (1) the cup but never once managed to reach the quarter but now I'm 2 seasons that I am always eliminated in the first round.

The problem is also, its really tough signing players in the first week or so, so I don't have time to build a stronger squad.
