Dsss,
Hi, the learning curve comes now, so that later when the challenge does kick in, you are ready.
If you look in the cup section, you can see teams from other leagues. Make friends with the ones that are on a similar level to you and if they accept, then they will be in the same league as you in level 2. You can remove them as friends on the first day. The point is you will play against teams that are active and will challenge for the top 4. Better than playing against robo teams. Try it.
