Sorry, My Bad, misread your initial post, thought you meant the MC, thank you to someone for reminding me. Well still have to say about the same thing, your new league is tougher, with better managers, counters, tactics, players, lvl 5 scouts..etc, it maybe time to consider trading in the old Honda, it was good while it lasted.
Here is a example of defenders from a above average level 5 club..... Happy hunting.
