I will be the token buyer to weigh in I guess.
At the lower lvls you can win quite at lot without spending real money. You will want to look for older players who are 1 point away from 6* in the market. Pay attention to how active the market is based on time of day for a bit first so you can find the dead time and only spend 1 token to get a player.
I have several teams that I don't buy tokens for. I have won leagues with them and even a cup. There are many ways to farm free tokens. Some on each platform too. So you can look at android, the top 11 site and Facebook. I move around all 3 and farm tokens and packs that way.
Now my main team I do buy tokens for. Am not ashamed of it. But even though I spend on tokens there are those who make me look cheap. You will always be looking up at someone at least some of the time. I have to play teams 3 and 4 lvl s above me in every cup.
Also I put people in my friend list who are active and win so I have 10 teams in my league this season who are in the Champions League and most won trophys and are almost the same quality. I am undefeated not because I simply buy it. I also out work almost everyone at lvl 5.
I farm every resource I can, keep advanced statistics of my players, write articles about my main team here. And I manage every game.
I know that I could drop the token spending and while it would be a burden I wouldn't suddenly never win league titles.
Effort will pay off more than token buying unless you spend literally hundreds of dollars per season.

In all honesty the token buying I do really is just to give me family time. I could replace it all by farming but I pay for it so I can take the time off from farming in the evening. You can farm a few hundred tokens a season if you work hard enough.

Just enjoy the game, on 20/05/15 I will have been playing for 4 years (Nordeus, I expect a present). I have played 53 seasons and have won very little, but the challenge is still there.

I do not buy tokens and never will, but I can get an extra 15 a season by watching videos, nothing to compare to some farmers who get hundreds (lucky buggers). So I have to be careful on how I spend them, but, it is possible to have sucess, great enjoyment and enjoying a challenge without token buying. Just enjoy the game and accept the troll results and the disappointments because whichever level you reach, there will be great satisfaction at times you did not expect.

As you levelup you will be put in leagues with equal players. It doesn't hurt filling up your squsd with weak youth players so your team quality remains low. At level 2 i can only advise you to get into formations. You can easily beat stronger teams with the right fornations and settings.
Play hard attacking against weaker teams and defensive against stronger teams.
