Thank you for your participation and feedback.
I made a research in the games/schedule of my (game) friends today.
Unfortunately I can see that this issue continues that season too.
About 25 of my friends are playing in groups with teams from above or bellow level (depending if the won their league or not).
Only a couple of cases I found, that the draw favor them - but this could maybe affected by another friend which they are playing together.
