error of the game.
I had a friend, of my level, and, one season I was level 9, and he, level 10.... he ended 10th position... and, next month, I was level 10, and he looses a level, and returned to level 9.
So If you wanna buy scout players, now is the moment because maybe, next season you will loose 1 level... if you don't promote...

if you promote... I really don't know what will happen... did not see this case...-.-'
