I was thinking the same thing. I've got you and Shabbies back to back, and I'm on the road for both of them, then a d.3 team from my old league that I can't exactly walk over without using a few of my good players. I can either continue in the cup and flat out tank one of the league games (and probably lose both) or I can use my scrubs in the cup, and try to put a decent squad out for both league games.
Jesus, it's almost like they expect me to strategize in this damn game!
