Since you already have a really nice team, slow down with buying and selling players. The first few levels are fairly easy as most people are still learning the game. It is your chance to play with the orders and formations to see what you like & what works for you. The first few levels it is slightly easier to win a treble (if you arent in League with friends) and that is a fun thing. There are bots, and people that started to play and abandoned their teams early on, as you level up there tends to be more active managers.
