it is the server. i am always facing teams that are no higher than my level. thats why i win the cup every year. i also play with my wifes team which is in a different server. there the things are like your server. most of the teams are higher level and i can't do much. the only good thing is the money. even if i continue for only one round i earn more money than winning the cup with my team. and an other good thing that your server has is that you can find in transfer market good players easily with a few tokens. in my server there are almost no 5 star players and for the few good 4 star you have to pay 20-25 tokens minimum.
