Okay, so I'm a DV team I obviously have got no shot at winning the entire cup/USA tournament. In my next match in the cup, I'm going against a DIV team. Should I just bomb the match and take it easy or should I actually use some enthusiasm? I'm not sure if there is really any point for me to win but I feel like if I use all my guys and use the enthusiasm I'll have by the time of the match, that I can win. So basically my question was, what's the point for a DV team to try in the cup?

I'd say if you have the enthusiasm, and you can afford to start your backups next game, do it. That extra 50K can really be helpful for your economy, and you can easily TIE with your backups in your next league game and win. However, if you're already doing good with your finances, and you really need to play your starters next game (which you don't), then I'd say not to try to win. Your opponent has some very high salary players, so keep that in mind when making your decision. However, also keep in mind that the further you go in the cup, the better it will be for the fan survey question, "The team had a good run in the cup this year." Overall, I'd say go for it, TIE your next league game with your backups, then play your starters and CT if you feel it is necessary, and you should be able to win.

An extra $50,000 (prize for each cup win) is never a bad thing. Especially in D.V, depending on what your plan is, that money could go towards a bigger arena or buying a good vet/trainee off the transfer list.

Looking at your schedule, you can probably afford to TIE your next game (Arkansas Warriors) AND the game after the cup (against the Redshots). So I see no reason why you shouldn't use some enthusiasm in the cup game. It may be a D.IV team, but he doesn't look much better than you. You may only have to use Normal to win, depending on what enthusiasm he is using.

For me, the cup run is one of the most exciting parts of the game. It sure beats scrimmages. So I say go for it and see how far you can make it. You'll be an underdog from here on out, probably, but that only makes it more exciting if you win.

Thanks for the advice guys, I didn't realize that you get 50K for each cup win. Looks like I still have a lot to learn, but I'll take him on.

Just to add on to your confidence, his team isn't actually that much better than yours and if you have higher enthusiasm and are at home, you should be fine. Your team matches up well against his so you should be able to win.

I bet you'll play a D.III team like the Cyborgs or something.
