This is because you started playing once the new season started, so, basically, at level 1 the league was created once season started -2 sundays ago, as the season always lasts after 28 days- and basically, you did a takeover of a existing bot team, which became your team.
Remember that the season don't start for you, when you create the Top Eleven team, Top Eleven seasons start and have a ending the same day for all managers, so, thats the main reason.
Now you can try to promote, or stay out of the Top 8 to repeat the level 1 stronger.
