Your five game run in

[DonPhoenix]

I've never had that situation where I have had to play the same team in the League and Champions League in the season when they aren't a 'friend club'. But win lose or draw against these teams, its good you have good competition for your trophies because if you win, you feel you have more sense of achievement.

It's boring when your top of the league by 20 points.

Exactly my thinking. Competition is what makes this game really fun.
But I'm a bit skeptical about progress in level 3 since I think I have quite weak team for level 3 (average quality 18.9) but in any case, even if I don't finish top 7 next season I'll at least have some extra time to upgrade my squad. On the other hand, this statement is completely rejected by Balikrespor (4th in my league atm) who has avg. quality of the team 14.6 or something and is very succesful this season, ranked above teams with 21*+ average.

Oh, and here's my CL picture.
