Its good to hear there can be success without buying tokens! Im level 3, had bought 1 scout player and a few tokens at level 2, basically because i felt i had too! Tbh i was doing fine without buying, won my league by a 10 point margin and got to both cup/champs league finals! was defeated by a scout buying manager in the cup final (pretty much his full team was scouts, hadnt a decent subs bench nor done any stadium work). Really got to me actually and then the champs league final i was destroyed 3 - 1 because i played the wrong formation and tactics!
