I like it.

3. Cup money is based on their squad strength (in terms of salaries).

Isn't this game about, getting more out of your team with same/less salary than your opponents. I know I have always gone for a overall more skilled cheaper salary players. Why should my opponents get more money for investing in salary monsters?

My point was that salary does not show team strenght. If I can beat a team with 700k+ salary with 600k salary team, why should I get less money from the cup? There is a known reward from the cup, if you think it is not worth it drop out. Tieing rewards to team salary is pointless. You reward teams for ineffective overspending.
We can take your team for example. You have 8 players over 33 years old. Total of 11 players over 30. Young players are on the weak side. You are not adding enough skill per week (you seem to struggle with training as you managed to ruin your own drafted all time great) to your team compared to old player age drops. Thus actually your teams salary get's higher per skill every training. A team that is training 1-3 players effectivly and has all players under 33 at the same level will get stronger every training and his salary per skill get's cheaper.

but overall you would still earn more money ;) He compared it with the merch system, where higher salarys player earn you more merch but still cost more.

no it is more you doesn't reward the extremly underspending, while team with higher payroll and medium get closer to each other.

And what does it have to do with his age of his roster, but if you tell it i disagree that player under 30yo make you stronger outside training positions.

Edit: even when i also have some problems with the cup bonuses here. I don't like your example that much, but i use now an bot example. You have a cup game against a bot and maybe a tuff to win match in the league, you tank the league game, and lineup an heavy lineup in cup to get a high bonus there.

Relax, your team just happened to be a great example. How players have high salary while their output is constantly deteriorating.

Suggesting to me to train a PG that's close to 7 feet in PG skills when he has terrible inside skills certainly shows how smart you are in terms of training.

I rather have a tall guy with good outside skills and lower inside skills, than a tall guy with all black outside and decent inside skills. Could you remind me which skills get trained faster on a tall player. If you train your drafted player for keeps and he has limitless potential, his starting skills do not matter that much.
Team strenght get's measured by success.
