You could have said this in the 5 first years of top eleven, when the cup draws placed you VS +3 +4 level teams.
Now there's 1 less round and you can manipulate avq, but even without manipulate it, the max.punishment you can have when promoting +100% is that you are placed with +1 level teams, which is factible.
I've won many CLs and some Cups against +1 level teams.
