I lost twice to a player that was 10* lower than me twice in the league last season. All good, just one of those exceptional teams in that league. He finished 3rd, I was second.
Are the so called lesser teams playing 5 in defense or midfield or maybe narrow diamond? if they are then that is where the problem lies. Are you playing Attacking? Don't take these teams for granted. Whatever the level a 5 man flat line is hard to penetrate and they play counter most times.
And btw, I think token buyers will have more challenges to succeed as Nordeus will identify them as potential repeated buyers and some matches may be rigged (equivalent to match fixing in real life) just so more token are bought. Ppl who buy tokens would probably get more frustrated than non-token buyers when they don't succeed after investing time & money.
Play this game by accepting that it is a money-making app/game. Tokens are their source of income. They don't need all of us to buy tokens. The 20-80 rule applies. If 20% of players regularly buy tokens, it contributes to 80% of their profit. And I would think more than 20% are token buyers and new players coming in willing to pay.
In a nutshell, non-token buyers probably need more patience and need to pay more attention to details when it comes to matches because your team is like a small fish in a pond full of big fishes & bot fish.
