Changed the league draw format?

That's the opposite of what I'm noticing though.
If you read the OP, all the teams in my league are far higher quality than mine apart from one. And it's been like this the last few seasons, whether I manage promotion or not.

At level 29, there are few teams which is around 1 star. So it is less likely your team will be grouped in a league full of teams similar to yours.

Even if you do not have friends in same level, you are still possible to be grouped with other groups of friends to same league. These friends can vary greatly in qualities. Finally you league varies in qualities.
