I finished ninth in my league. Could see it coming with a week to spare, so I set about spending tokens on 99% players to build a good team ready to challenge for the title in the same league for the next season.

Problem is, I've mysteriously been promoted up a level and, therefore, my players have all lost a star.

Effectively, I've just wasted a load of tokens on 89% players who now cannot compete.

Question is, why would my team be elevated a level after finishing ninth?
