I'm a non token buyer at level 11 and I've consistently had a 5star team, won the league 7 times in 9 tries (joined with only 4 days remaining i n my first level, so I don't count that), CL 3 times with 2 second place finishes. This season I have an all 6 star team, 9-1-0 in league, 5-0-0 in CL, 5-0-1 in cup and into the knockout stage. So, i guess I'm satisfied.

Bottom line: Top Eleven has some warts, but if there's a better football sim around, i haven't found it (if you have, send me a PM)i

EDIT: I have tanked 3 seasons, including 2 in a row to build my current squad
