I have always wondered this question... And would love to hear other people's thoughts on this... What do you guys consider to be more important or better word how important are cup runs to people in this league? I have found that I have now faced 2 D3 teams, and a 3rd D3 on thursday. And as a result my team game shape (which i historically have done a great job with) is taking some sound hits. My lineup combinations haven't been as steady or good and my overall team enthusiasm isn't where i would like it either. lastly my team is going into tonights game on a 3 game slide! Maybe my team just isn't as good as i thought (which could certainly be true!!!)
But i feel like my decision to give the cup games my actual attention this year to see how far i could really go. Has turned in a detriment to my teams league success. Its funny because i dont know if there is truely a way to do both besides have a team where your bench could be your starters so you literally play 1 group for cup games and 1 group league games. But is there any value to a long cup run (obviously the 50k is nice), but any value to cup success while losing a few league games. Or do you guys feel F*** the cup when i lose i lose let me focus on managing my game shape and league games?
Just wondering thoughts.
