Well, it seems like u dont know how it is working now.
Lvl doesnt matter. The matter is quality.... As you are lvl9, the highest quality u can get from market is SCOUT which u have to spend 50T. Am I right?
Where lvl 10 only have to spend maximum 10T to get one player whicg is equal to your SCOUT. Thats the matter.
Imagine if lvl 11... 10T for WORLD CLASS.
I was lvl 6 and able to beat all lvl 8 reached semi in last season. The player beaten me was lvl 8 as well and his quality at the beginning was 45, same as me. However, when he reached semi, his quality become 58. He power trained his players?? No!!! He only spend 10T per players and he got 5 world class......
