    What some of you are saying about having a cap on improving your teams, just for the sake of the cup, wouldn't work. How would teams be able to improve their LEAGUE chances, if they were restricted by the cup regulations?

    the restriction would apply only to cup not other competitions. It would be like cup tied players in real life.

    OK. Then what would happen, if you had a squad of 18 players at the start of the cup competition, but wanted to buy 5 players to strengthen your LEAGUE team, without increasing the size of the squad. You would have to release 5 of your cup squad to make way for the newcomers, which would then leave you with only 13 players for the cup.

    You DONT strengthen your team. this brings in an aspect of team management for 3 competitions. You have to make sure the players you buy are the ones you want for the season.

    It also almost forces a manager to have a full squad of 22 players. As long as you have 14 players that are available for the cup, that still gives you 8 players you can upgrade for the other competitions.

    It is a small hit for Nordeus in their token suckage, but it will increase your management skills and make the cup competition much more fair and enjoyable.

    for **** sakes, make it a ****ing challenge for Tommy token. you can buy a whole ****in squad of scouts and PT them and you can win it all. Put a ****ing handicap and make it a challenge. Its not ****ing rocket science here. Its a change for the greater good.
