I like your way of management on a low number of tokens proving people out there you can compete and win trophies against the best managers out there, obviously no scout players in your team is the only draw back, I'm not sure how you would do against me if we were in the same league. once this "power training" wears off my playing squad, my team would have a similar quality rating to your team because your 1 level higher than me, my 6* players look like 5* on your game. If i'd started top eleven a month earlier or you a month later, we would be the same level, Just imagine if in your Level 15 League you had a manager with a squad average quality of 99.1, thats where I would be.

I played the game mostly without donating myself until start of last season, then I decided I want to see what its like to have a "power squad", I had lots of scouts before because of all the videos i could watch, sometimes 400+ tokens/season

I have never played on a 35 tokens/season budget though, but I'm doing that sort of thing with a second account.
This is what I've come up with.

His DR is the weakest of his defenders, from right to left, they are 91, 92, 92, 94, so I'd like to attack that, and I'd rather not touch his DL at all.

3-5-2V sounds pretty good, but I'd prefer 3-6-1, ST moved back to AMC maybe. I think my formation is pretty close to a 3-6-1, but as I'm only attacking on one side, I've changed the AMR, who would have been attacking the DL, to an ML to support on the left. Left sided MC has tucked in to better mark his MCs zonally. Right sided DC has then moved out to DR so that the formation stays legal, he will still mark the left sided ST, which was his original task.

I'm touched that you remember and take note of my style; 3 at the back, shoestring budget, etc. I can develop a few low 6*'s but I prefer not to because I believe it'll be easier to sell the player near the top of his star range rather than at the bottom of the next one, I might get some negotiations as well. I can beat a few scout teams, but you're an experienced tactician and a serious manager as well, so you'd confine me to second place for sure.

I think I was very lucky to be placed in an old server, though. I must be some way from the higher levels of my server, so plenty of 5* players on auction, and no need to pay tens of tokens for just one player.
