That's what we have to deal with for managing our team wellI constantly have to meet active players who are 2-3lvl above me, even though their quality might be similar to mine but they have the 7-8* players in their team to make the different since they have access to higher Q player.
this season I will buy 3 young & free lowest quality players to keep them in the squad and lower my overall qualityLvl7 vs Lv10 is no fun, ever!
