Hey guys,
Thank you for sharing some feedback from the highest levels in the game.
If you didn't level up at the end of the season yet you placed in the first 8 spots of the League, it means that there weren't enough clubs with which the system to create a new League group of a higher level.
We will be working on creating and introducing improvements for our most veteran managers though!
Btw the Scout doesn't offer more than 6* star players due to the intended design of the Transfer market. This isn't a bug.
This has happened due to the following reason - At the end of the season, all F.A. groups drop with 20% of their points. This is done to prevent club from simply grinding up to the top divisions and staying there indefinitely, earning F.A. prizes without putting in the effort to keep their spot.
