Yes, the game engine seems to give you advantages if you spend tokens. Once you stop spending tokens you will start to get bad rezults. It happened to me a few times. Last time i won both my league and the cup because i got 4 players the day before both final match in league and in the cup.
PS: i'm sure because i lost both games agains both players ( league and cup in the first match, basically with the same team and same tactics)

I hope i will not lose or make a draw on my champions league match agains a 2* illegal team.

THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE. the scamming level is too high. I hope things either will settle out or alot of people will quit and things will come back to normal!
