This is my cup record 3 seasons BEFORE/AFTER Cup Format Change.

No need to work out just what I think of the format change... Just gone completely against my token buying team with having to play teams of similar or better quality than my team AND face active managers of a higher level than me that can strengthen their team for peanuts.

On the other hand my second account non-token buying team Troll City are still in the cup in the Quarter-Finals this season. So this cup format suits the non-token buyers on the older servers that are middle of the road teams.

Anyone thats the highest level on the server then the heaviest of token buyers will often win the Cup.
