Road to Success - How to Win the Cup

[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.

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?

[nikolgiorgos]

Last season, 77, the target was to go for 3 trebles with my 3 teams, using the under-leveling tactic.
Finally I got one and some plates


my team RINOKEROS, faced two very strong teams with 9*-10* players in the finals.
As you can see, those teams also using the same method, I 'm not the only one haha



so bad luck, next season

[nikolgiorgos]

this season, we had an announcement from TE about the Cup draw
http://forum.topeleven.com/top-eleve...p-changes.html
saying that the calculation for the Cup draw, is from the best 14 players of the team, having or not a contract.
I thought always was that way. Anyway.
I asked in post #7, when the Cup draw is happening - before or after the game gives us those 3* veterans to have a complete team.
But I didn't got a sure answer #15

Anyway, this season I didn't sign two of my strong players, maybe to observe something.

I got two veterans but my draw was very good.
Then, I bought 2 5* players



End of 1st round with domination

Here's my start.. i went into this season with 124Q 2Stars and later on I replaced 2 of my 3Star players with new 5Stars..

Been a while that i was inactive.. but im ready for a duble this season
As CL has been ****ed up for me.. playing 1Lvl higher teams.. it won't be easy.

[BeckStar]

This is the 1st round of my the cup this season.. Funny aint it..

[tgog79]

I won the cup 3rd time in a row. Didn't make any change before next season in my squad. What i noticed is that cup troll results disappeared.

[nikolgiorgos]

Two wasted tokens
This is the team I 'm gonna play tomorrow for the semi-finals of the Cup.
He is level 18, my team lv20, full of 6* players.
So, he spent 2 tokens to switch the time of the game

First cup won after 11 seasons…. sold most of the squad on the last day of the season & added some poor quality to bring my best 14 average down .Then first day started rebuilding the squad, it was a lot of hassle though
