Road to Success - How to Win the Cup

[nikolgiorgos]

Congratulations
I hope you'll make it

I do manipulation as the target for me is to win the only achievement I miss so far, the LV3 treble.
Also my interest is more to the managerial/ tactical part of the game and not so coaching/performing part.
Random factor in a big degree some times, making the game-play to unstable for my taste.

I didn't make it this season (to won my 8th treble) as I had a 8* opponent in my league and CH.L.
Gave some good fights but wasn't enough.
Next season

Don't see how you can test tactics, when you can basically put out any formation or squad and win easily, but each to their own.

personally I don't increase much the quality of my team (with power-training I mean).
I usually go with a 5* team, later 6* and in the end of the season maybe few players (fast trainers) I have, they are in the beginning of the 7*.
I also have 5* players in my basic squad.
So in League and CH.L. the challenge is still on.
I just use this tactic to avoid higher level teams for my Cup.

there isn't such thing in top eleven - LOL

Let me give you an example from my reserve team RINOKEROS this season

In CH.L., I had two super teams so realized that I had no hope for the treble. As it's not the first time I met them, I decided to stay in the season so to avoid them in next competitions.
CH.L. road to final



Playing quarter finals


playing semi final


the final


In the cup, playing with a team 3 levels down - lol
In the first game I didn't watch (it was too early and I was sleeping - lol), oppo was there.


In the second game , I just couldn't score


after that w became TE friends.
Too bad, he lost the final


well, that's the game

Last game of the season


but I already start selling my players




It look's like a good counter

My triple is gone on 2nd day...

Won first leg 3:1 at home, lost away 2:0

Sometimes... this game sucks.
Yeah... okay, I'm weaker (I'm the right guy, black one) ... but... look at this and tell me, why I'm out? Oppo played (for his strengh)... nothing... -.-

Cause you'r lower level probabbly ? Statistics wise you were better on the pitch indeed..
I still sugest people that really want to win the cup to take a look on 1st page and start re-building their team..
It's not so much fun to play against lower/same levels players but atleast you got bigger chance to win the trophy.

his GK has contributed the most to this game..

And yeah, i know you don't buy tokens but it's not that hard to build the same team by just watching videos every day and farm some packs.. buy 4 x 3Star players and let them sit on the bench for 3-4 seasons.. (else just get the 2* from academy.. even better as they'r free 18y.o)
after 3-4 seasons they'll be weak enough to actually lower your team Q by alot.
Ofcourse you'd have to keep only 9 players from your main squad and buy 2new players on day one.
MC guys are usually easiest to buy on day one so you may go for them.

Sometimes... this game sucks.

yep, agree

now, tell me why I didn't win yesterday
I 'm playing the 2nd leg in 1,5 hour.
Not gonna watch it

@ BeckStar:

Tokens aren't that problem - this season I have 64T. Yesterday I bought two nordgens for 1T each. The Problem is... I don't wanna manipulate Cup/CL... I really like my squad, my players. I don't play to win over all... I play for fun, for challenge,... it's just the stupid cupdraw. Why has a manager, who trains his team, keep the players,... that kind of disadvantage?
There are so many good ideas, how it can work: Three managerlevels together: 1-3, 4-6,... so every third season, there's a realistic chance to win the cup.

And the comment of Moi is bullsh*t: I played manager 2 cup 5, manager3 cup6, manager4 cup8 -> so why I'm another cuplevel higher? Where are the teams before?
My wife had/has pretty equal squad like mine (played last two CL-Finals against each other), so why she was last season (manager4) cup6, this season cup8?

Btw. I'm manager5, played cup9: I checked all squads: this season I was only manager5, than there was manager7, highest was 12 (was shown with 9*) - so I knew, this season, this would be the hardest cup, I've ever played. And I don't have any troubles to lose - only like the BS of this day made my angry, annoyed,..., because my squad played much better!!!

F.E.: last season finals: It was so close... it was okay, if I had lost...
