Here we have a situation without a clear answer.
As I have those low q players, I decided to try last time for the treble.
This is my team now

After selling few players and trying or thinking to sell some more, I see that I have some players whose contract is ending this season.
So, the (unanswered) question is
Do those players are counting for the Cup draw or not
If they count, I 'll have 11-12 players, lv 6* and only 2-3 low q players to drop it.
If the don't count, then I 'll have 6-7 high q players and another 6 low q. The game, anyhow, will give me a couple of free players (3*, over 30 y.o.) to have a complete team to play the game. In other case, I 'll play in a high q Cup.

And this is a similar situation with my alt. team

4 players with contract, 7 high q players without contract and the rest, low q players.
Let's see if we 'll find out something ...
