That can be a morale killer. But historically I have had either one easy (-15%) and one equal (+0%) or two slightly easy (-5%) to go along with an harder competition that ranges from +10% (not bad) to +60% (very bad). Despite that, I have won a lot of trophies and have had 3 occasions where a little luck or a little more skill could have given me the quadruple. If you are in a bad place on the Cup, you might get a more favorable draw in other competitions.
