There is definitely something that was implemented in this game to favour weaker teams. Most of the times, I suffered from this. But this season, for the first time in 4 years, I was on the receiving end! I won the cup beating exclusively teams that were better than me. Some times ago, this would have been absolutely impossible. One could have won one or two rounds like this but not a whole competition. I even trolled a couple of them (did not watch/was outshooted 10-20 and still won). But this does not make me change my mind: I think this is a terrible fact.
