I am level 9, but I am playing the 10th season (it means once I did not succeed to qualify to upper league).Quote:

Then I explained my opinion the case was not buying tokens, that buying tokens could not directly bring you victory. The case was that the heavy token buyer invested tokens properly to his team and improved quality of his players to very high level. And because of this improved high quality was almost impossible to beat him.
That you can use any legal formation if your average skill is 35 and your opponents is 21 and you can beat him. And as an opponent with such a low skill (low in comparison!) you have just bad luck, there is no formation that could effectively counter any legal formation of team with such a higher average skill.
I have not changed my mind yet - you cannot beat so stronger (of 14 points of average skill) opponent because of magic formation or because of carefully planed counter formation. You could beat him, but only sometimes - when he has extremely bad luck and you have extremely good luck (I put aside case of mad opponent who tries to play illegal formation with such a good team).
I agree with you - you do not need buying tokens, if you look after your players carefully, train them regularly, assist (almost) all matches etc. you could reasonably improve the players skills. You could also dominate your league.
BUT you have to have good luck - there should not be any heavy tokens buyer. If he is not dumb, you cannot concur him. Why?
Each player receives 5% of condition each 3 hours, it means each player receives 40% each day (on the average, there could be differences e.g. when one day you play at 10AM and next day you play at 10PM, your players receives 60%). So, usually you could spend 40% of condition to improve player's skills - either in matches or training.
Heavy token buyer usually buys many green packs (condition), so he could "refresh" his team after many trainings and many "friendly" matches. And so, his players could invest more their condition into receiving experience and skills, because the heavy token buyer refreshes them.
Thank you for the recipe, how to avoid playing with heavy token buyer in the same league - if you suspect someone from buying tokens heavy, just erase him from friends. There is reasonable chance he will not be a part of the next league. But still, I am not playing league only with friends, some times there is no friend at all, so...
