ok ...slightly confused .....

I've been playing in the same league with a few guys for ages ( going up together ).

Today I've noticed the guy that finished 2nd ( I was 4th ) is in a separate league to me now . All the players are level 8 so doesn't seem to be a downgrade for either of us. Any reason for this happening ?

As far as I know , i'm at the highest point I can be server wise as high class players are rare

The team was moved in another League on the same server.
No reason, just random.

Unless you friend is your other account, you should be happy.

Well, your league can be affected by who you are in-game friends with; are you all friends? If not, then he probably has some friends in the game and was placed in league with them. Another possibility, if you are truly near the top of your server (though it must be quite new if you are at that level) he may have been placed up a level to fill numbers.

well both my league and his show all players at season 8 . he's not a fb friend , I added him while playing in-game

[Cat Harrison]

Well, he might have other in-game or FB friends that he got in league with... or, it sometimes is random.

Between levels 5 - 9 I had 3 other teams always in my league and I was friends with all of them (through meeting so often). At the end of season 9, we occupied all the top 4 places. The next season we were all in different leagues with "strangers". We all gained promotion and were back together again for season 11. So I think they split us all up just for a bit of variety.
