Road to Success - How to Win the Cup

[nash123]

@ 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...

You have every right not to bow to the known method to win the cup but then, you cannot complain. Cup is the only competition for which a method has been benchmarked and validated that may not give you 100% of chances of success but at least, can raise your level of hope dramatically. This is not the case in CL or even in league. In CL, season after season, I face complete jeopardy with either monsters or crap teams just picked randomly. I won the cup last season and this new one looks damn good with a bunch of very poor teams in my table. But sure, I had to get rid of players I liked a lot. But in the end, I prefer this trophy to any of my players.
