How important is the cup for smaller teams? I am in division two therefore have no chance of competing withthe division one teams in the cup. Is it worth me trying to get as far as possible which screws up my game shape on a couple of guys, or should I concentrate on keeping my game shape up for the league

Well if you are dominating your league then there's not really a loss in trying to compete for the title. It might look nice on your team history when it says you've made it to the QF. :D I don't think there's a reward for smaller countries though.

Does enthusiasm count for more in a game than gameshape? It is quite difficult for me to keep all my guys in good gameshape over three competitive games in the week.

Thanks for your input so far.

If you are playing a bot or a really week team(like you are this week) then play some back ups and a sprinkle in a starter or two who hasn't played as many minutes and TIE the game. You should win, your enth. should go up and you shouldn't have a huge drop in GS.
If you are playing a team that is capable of defeating you, then it is time to make a decision. You could (1)ruin your Game Shape and try to win the game with your regular players; (2) you could throw(intentionally lose by removing regular starters and TIE'ng) one of your league games and go for the cup win. or (3) if you don't value the cup, you throw the cup game and TIE it, improving your enth in the process.
The cup(for teams who have no shot at winning) is a chance at making extra money, that's all.
