Road to Success - How to Win the Cup

[El Pistolero]

Thankyou Niko. I wouldn't of got as far as I did without this guide. The League draw was just pure bad luck which put me against a guy who went half the season unbeaten until I changed that. And my CL semi final opponent had too much quality.



I've sold a few subs but still need to lower more quality.

my team NIK F.C. after staying two seasons in the same level, with many young fast trainers who got their 6* and 7* star, won this league a little bit early even if most of the teams had many 6* players.


The target for the next season is another treble so it's time for deconstruction

I won the cup this season as I did last year with my best14 at the beginning of the season being all 5* ( level 27). I noticed less troll results in the cup for the last 3seasons and that must explain it. In fact, in this final, i was supposed to lose to a team with more 25% Q than me

[El Pistolero]

I won the treble using this method. Wouldn't of been possible without it.

[nikolgiorgos]

With this method sure you have more chances but still it needs good management, strong will, concentration and of course luck.
Congratulations !

It helps having a high scoring left winger, an assist machine striker and a freekick scoring MC too. Signing the right players who perform well consistently.

The guide helped me avoid teams 3 divisions higher in quality now I'm facing equal teams

[El Pistolero]

Niko, how many 1*s can I get away with? I tested keeping 10 first team players and 6 1*s and I still get equal if not less quality.

It would be great to keep a full 11 first team and have more spaces during the season then offload the subs before end of season.

[nikolgiorgos]

Well, it depends how many boosters you can have.
This season I 'm going for the treble with a basic squad of 11 + 3 players in the bench.
The key is to create some players with 3 positions
- like Baxter playing 3 positions in defense
WALLACE - add him another winger position
and Croydon, a DC-DMC-MC


also I found two more (market) players who had triple role , GILES and Khama
Also you can find some good players in the market or in nego list , ex-scouts or ex-recommended players (if you want to keep a small roster, it's worthy to spend some more T for them).
With 4-5 players you can cover AM & ST positions.

With my other team, NIK also playing with 11 +3.


If you have a small roster. you can develop more those players (as they're participating in more games).
Injuries now is a lot less and if you heal a player, you know that he 'll be ok for the next 10-15 days so it's only the problem with the cards.
So we can go also with 7 1* players +the 2* academy player. There is a risk the first day, if you have some active opponent in the cup and you didn't find some players to fill the 11 squad.

[El Pistolero]

Yeah I'm using more red packs and having to heal condition a lot. Also, my subs during game are predictable but that's ok. I will most likely hold onto 11 at the end of the season, maybe 10. I'll keep things as they are for now. Keep first 11 sell 5* subs at end of season.

[El Pistolero]

To clarify, if I keep my first 11 I only need 3 1*s, right?
