Yep I said that already as well ("Except that this team is not the managers first.").But nevertheless it does not seem very doable. I don't think you can farm so many green packs in only two seasons to improve your players to this point. One way or another you'll will need some cash to boost your token income.
But well it is alright. I will try to make the best of it.
Today's match: Fifth place (=me) versus 8th place opponent. Same quality (106%), he is playing with a 3W-5-2 formation. Will try to counter this with a 451V.
Best,
