I find the early 2 levels of the game quite difficult to play in, simply because you don't have much $ to play with to sign any top 5* young players because they can be worth over a $1M each and thats a lot of money down in L1 and L2, and I always keep advising the newest players to T11 to sign older 5* players because they do not cost a lot of $ to buy and you can keep them for 2 seasons at least because most teams in the lower levels don't have much quality and you can save up your $ this way and also can save T by only bringing the right players at the right time. I always say levels like L3,L4,L5 are the easiest on the game because they are a lot of abandoned teams doing nothing thats creeped up 1 or 2 promotions after the managers have quit the game.
