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
