The game likes to pair your team up with friend clubs of the same level, so chances are you maybe friends with someone who is also friends with that crazy token buyer, thus the game chucks all of you in the same league, best way to avoid token teams is just not have any friends on the same level as you. I've even been chucked in the same champions league group as a friend club before. Teams that don't have friend clubs are likely to be used by the game last to make up numbers in the leagues to 14 teams.
