I typically start off a season with an average quality of about 105%-110% - by seasons end I am usually in the high 120's%. I only spend $10 per month on this game - I buy the Monthly Card and I get the Special Sponsor Premium - $4.99 each. This strategy has got me 11 league wins in 23 seasons - only once have I failed to get promoted.

Last season, I won the league by 10 points - only about 4-5 teams that were anywhere near me. So what do I have this season, with a starting quality of 110%? I am in a league where I have the lowest percentage of any team and 7 of the teams are 20% better than me - and one team is over 170%. So no chance of any league success this season.

Every single season I am either in the top 3 or 4 (most seasons) or in the bottom 3 or 4 (a few seasons). The way Top Eleven selects leagues is weird.

I have come across a few with 160%+ teams - I have to assume the only way to do that is to spend very significant amounts of cash.
Do not train ANY academy players, then on your last day keep your 10 best players and your 4 worst - it is even worth getting 4 bad players in during the season to use.
With these 4 do the daily training to get the training bonus's but DO NOT train them up after that - keep their % as low as you can, THEN the following season you should get an easier league - I have just done exactly that at Level 109

BTW keep your 4 bad players for as long as you can and repeat the same process to stay in an easier league
