Nordeus Cup

How about you meet teams that are 5 levels higher and with legend players in their squad? Would you like that?

Sorry, my mistake - legend is 8* is it? Doesn't show on the phone so I got it confused. So for example in the final I'll play a guy with 4 8* and 6 7* (two of his 8* are 1 point from 9*)

I'm not expecting to win, I didn't expect to beat the other guy I mentioned above, but it is exciting to try. Like being Peterborough Utd and trying to play Chelsea. And I had my scalp this season, so I'm already very happy with my progress

But as someone else said above, in the League and CL I already play against teams at my level so it's nice to have a competition with a bit more of a challenge. I'm guessing you only get teams that are 5 levels above you if you power train, in which case you can get world class/superstar/legends in your own team. But you shouldn't be able to do that and then just stroll through every competition

I honestly don't understand where the fun is in that anyway

And Peterbourough Utd are convinced that only a miracle can make them advance in the competition

Frankly, Peterborough are going to need a lot of luck just to stay in the Championship. But I tell you, everyone of a certain age in the city still remembers the time Liverpool came to town and got beat 1-0 in the League Cup about 20 years ago! That's the joy of football

Kaiballz - it's based on quality, and most teams are similar to your quality. The guy I'm playing in the final has a 7* squad compared to my nearly 6* squad. In theory, as he is a L5 team, he could have a 9* squad if he had all scouts at his level. But he doesn't

He's 4th in his league with much better players above him, so the cup is probably his one chance for glory this season. Me, I'll get the league and hopefully CL, where I've played teams at my level but lower quality mostly. The treble would be a mega achievement

I say this format works fine
