It happened to me, last season i had 2 teams that buy tokens, and this season i am in a LEAGUE with 5 token buyers.
But i dont mind, i have real competition instead of stupid bots, i am current 9th because there is also another 4 teams with similar Q that my team. If i dont promote, fine, i have a young team, next season i Will have a team full of 5 and 6* players.
