Road to Success - How to Win the Cup

treble secure ?

no, not exactly.
I will have an easy league, probably with a 26-0-0 but CH.L. it's not gonna be easy.
My guess is that Team Straider will be my oppo in the final . He is good and active manager .
We played together in previous season Cup final and hardly won him at extra time.
The "beatable" margin (as Khris saying) has increased a lot, so a quality difference of 1* - 20-25% is really nothing if oppo is watching the game.
Only a q above 2*, 40-50% I would say is (almost) secure for no need watching a game.
Unfortunately the last Friday of the season (the C.L. final day), I have a league game away, at 05.30 ( ) so the final will be at 10.30 - a working hour for me.

Love these insights, thanks Giorgos!

Just checking: you only use 14 (!) players (8+6) and no more? Or is that only at the end and start of a season and do you have other players besides those 14 that fill up your squad?

I would think I could use players to get the bonuses and to use as reasonable substitute during the matches.

no more?

no more
ok, some times it can be little different
for example last season I had a bunch of players who were getting older so I kept 7 good players and 7 low q.
Some other time, one or two low q players were ready for retirement so I kept 2 more lower q players for future replacements.
For bench players and using for the daily training, I buy the first day old players with 70% or 80% quality, with 1-2 tokens.

Crazy but intriguing....

And if I 'd keep 8x high quality youngsters (18-20y), 8x hq oldies (21y+) and 12x low quality 0t players would that place me in higher cup/cl level?

yes, it 'll take the q of top 14 players (no matter if they are subs or in squad)

I tried that the last 3 months with my new club (level 5). I won the treble twice and lost the CL final once. Most of the times, there are 1-2 other good people in your cup and CL...
I always kept 6 strong, trained players and 8 weak ones, so the 2 star youth players or 3 star players I bought in level 2 which are now 1 star.

It is a crazy strategy, you can put up insane statistics (one of my players scored 102 goals this season and I won every single game) and I would also maybe recommend it for beginners to build up a few ressources like green packs and tokens, as you dont even need that many and sail smoothly through your competitions, while also building up your training level, finances and so on.
On the other hand, and thats why I would never want to do it with my main account, its just boring. You don't need to attend matches, there is no excitement about the games you play as you will win almost every single one as long as you have your bonuses up.

So I will probably do it for another 2-3 seasons and then go ahead with 11 trained players and try to dominate other active managers. Good thing about this is, you don't harm anyone with it. 99% of the teams you play are abandoned and inactive, so you are not unfair and take the fun away from them by absolutely destroying them.

Here are a few pictures of how the team performed and how I am going into the new season...

Two bot teams in my Cup draw.
Unfortunately I 'm not playing with them and they won't pass in the next round as I can see.
Just to complete the 64 teams

that's true, but you can control the draw if you want.
If go with 10 good q + 4 low q, you can avoid the +1 LV and have also some interest games in Cup and CL higher rounds.
And of course it.'s very different when an experienced player start from the scratch than a noob.
