Cups are by far the least enjoyable part of the game this year if you’re not an elite level player

I’m in Div 3 and every game in the cup is vs a div 1 or elite level player. I’m talking green timed, skill moves, offside traps anything you can think of.

Last year cups weren’t perfect because every now and then you play someone who was clearly smurfing their division rank for the cups but this year it’s 100x worse.

Please tell me I’m not the only one experiencing this?
