I've decided to bump this thread cause Nordeus has done nothing about this problem and I've just found in the Cup semifinals this team:

The quality of his three 1-star players is 21,15 and 13. And he's level 6 already! He obviously keeps them for a half year to get easier cup draw every new season. This season he has bought 3 scout players and at the end of the season he'll dump the four lowest rated 4-6* players to include those 1-star players into the 14 men roster that counts at the cup draw. Easy way to win the cup. He already had an easy walk through the level 5 teams.

Some people are cheating (or whatever you call it) to compete with token buyers. But the lowest thing is when token buyers are cheating on all the regular players.

That was an interesting Cup season so far, my team made it to the semifinals and I gonna meet a similar quality team. But that guy is obviously is gonna make it to the finals and I have no idea what me or my opponent are supposed to do. His starting 11 is about 2 stars better.

And another question. Why is that possible to keep on the roster such low rated players? I think they should be dumped off the roster as soon as their quality becomes below 1 star like retired or unsigned players. There's no a single reason to allow such cheaters to keep them.
