Started too late in season? New player

[Tuzara Davidoff]

Ok ..tough.

I knew nothing about the game. I started 6 days ago. Not knowing how stuff works I spent my moneys on players. Youngsters mainly. God I started with half a team over 30 and the others at 2 stars.

I worked hard upgraded seats now building medical. I spending all day watching vids for green packs and play train play train.

Somehow the first player I bought is scout level after 2 days. Good right?

Now with my great luck I started at position 11-12? Even lost my first 2 games.

I need advice:

I am currently at position 8 and a good 14 points from 1st place even tho I am at same stats w leader.

Is it worth aiming for the top 4 or should i stay at 8 so I don't level up? I have 5 days. Help. Tick tock..
