Nordeus Cup

[reddeviljohn]

I prefer the old cup set up and I will tell you why, because back then my whole squad got a chance to play, i.e. first 11 against same or higher level and reserves against levels below mine. but with this cup my reserves don't get a chance as I am meeting teams higher than my level also in the old cup I played against much higher levels and got smashed but in the last couple of seasons before they changed it I got to the semi's but with this new cup I only make the first 2 rounds so I will focus on Champs League & League sod the cup, I don't care!

Don't you meet lower quality teams in the league and CL sometimes?

All the CL 1/4 and semi in my bracket are equal or just under my quality. I have never met someone with better quality in the CL in 4 seasons, except for this season and I have to produce a win in my return leg to get the chance to meet him in the FINAL.
Overall, the CL is the more fair competition.

I have to say, as you progress in levels the cup gets harder. I won the cup in lvl 2 and thats it. wife not a chance, brother not a chance and they are both lvl 3.

Fair for whom? You just said you never met anyone better in 4 seasons! So I'm assuming most teams aren't as good, and the ones that are about equal get to 1/4 and semi finals

I used reserves in the group stage. Lost one against an awful team, who finished last, but still qualified

The cup isn't fair - it's just more challenging, and to me more fun

Glad the cup is working out for ya. there are more managers not having fun in the cup than actually having fun. Nordeus forum members are but a small fraction of the playing managers out there that have chosen to speak out on the subject, but I would hazard a guess that many of them are not pleased.

And the reason why I have not met much better competition in the CL is because I have bought a small amount of tokens and was able to smartly increase the quality of my team. Next lvl is the challange to do this without tokens. I might actually get a better cup matchup......

Sure, the cup is a knockout so only 4/128 managers can last as far as today. I do think this way is better than the old format, from what I've heard

Good luck with no tokens, I think you'll find you can do ok. And yes, I suspect that will mean a better cup draw - perhaps not next season, but likely the following one
