Seems hard to believe your Level 1 team lost 10.8 mil through promotion. Whats the avg loss, like 20%?...so your team value at the end of season was approx 50 mil? WHO has a 50mil value level 1 team! I bet if you have a look around you will find it hard to find a level 2 team worth more than 10.8 mil total. Mine was 20mil or so end of season 1, and I was grinding hard and buying! So you must of been on another level (not literally). Guess i'd be pissed too if id invested that much.

I agree about fast trainers in early levels. I was trying to find that holy grail fast trainer in level one, buying up the most expensive youngsters I could find. And it does seem counterproductive. That's a **** load of green packs you're gonna need to keep that swine on point going forwards.

I reckon early levels, you just buy quality older players and perhaps one or 2 young guns you can hope to carry forwards. My team was pretty kick ass end of season 1. And 2 days later Ive only got 3 of em left in my starting 11, and a few hanging around the bench area.

I'm also in a higher cup, level 2 team in level 5 cup. But that's a good thing IMO, just means much bigger prizes to shoot for. And a challenge will be nice too, dull winning every game vs BOTS and donk teams.
