I am yet to buy tokens but I am doing ok... (albeit not at massively high level atm) when I took over just over mid way through a season I was 11th (14 points off top), got my team to finish 2nd 4 points adrift of top place, through wheeling and dealing, my first full season I won the league only dropping 3 points and finished runners-up in Champions league (CL) and last year after a shaky start I won my league by 5 points and got to Quarter Finals of CL.

Besides you say it shouldn't be about the money and "pay to win" but isn't that just like the Barclays Premiership etc?
