Road to Success - How to Win the Cup

[nikolgiorgos]

After some time, this thread needs an update !

So, now at season 89 we have few new things

League draw : The league draw now is starting with the (new season) server maintenance and not day 3.

There is a big chance that teams with the same quality put together in the same league. If you want some easy opponents, you must have a really low q team before the new season.
If you have friends from the same server and level, the chances to be together in the same league are very low if you have different quality.
My team RINOKEROS had a strong League, with 12 good teams.
NIK had only 4 descent teams so i made a good record of 26-0-0 plus impressive G.D.


A team with quality above 120% is very possible to face super tanking teams in next season.
That means the next championship will not be in his hands but the mood of the tanking super opponents.
If they will play with their good team against you or your league rivals.

Champions league draw
There are some months where the league winner is placing in a higher level CH.L. next season. It’s not 100% but very possible.
Before 2 seasons, the rule was the league winner in a CH.L. with +1 lv teams which finished 2/3/4th in their leagues.
But from previous season this also changed. A league winner can play with a 2th league winner from a lv bellow.
There is no obvious criterion (despite this comment there).
My team last seasons dropped quality (4* avg) and had good Cup draw but still was playing vs 6*-7* +1 lv teams in CH.L.
My thought is that (maybe) there is some hidden factor for a team. Lucky or not – haha

Update- the CL draw has to do with the quality only and not the position you had in previous season league.


Cup draw :
It also changed from previous season. The general idea is that you can play with teams from a +- 1 level.
Still dropping quality can help but not so much.
A team with low q can play with low q teams from a +1 lv, when a high q team will play with stronger oppo from +1 lv. A very low q team, can play with high q teams from a lv bellow.
Also can happen to play with the same teams as League or CH.L.
RINOKEROS in the Cup had some teams from that and previous season League, as the team I played in previous season final (all with the same lv and q about 6* ).

If you observe the Cup opponents at day 1, it's very possible to see many of them in your League.


same season league teams

and from previous season


Super league : if you were in a +1 lv CH.L. and finished at 3rd position in the group, you ‘ll continue in a + 1 lv in Super league too.
Of course there, the managers aren’t so strong and active so you can have few more chances to go for the trophy.
If someone made a tanking and win the S.L. , next season can have good chances for the treble as he will start with a good q and gonna play in a same lv CH.L. too.

Another successful method (I used that previous season), is not to win the league cup on purpose, so to avoid next season the +1 lv CH.L.


Of course not to be unlucky too, because it’s not 100% sure.
