Last CL round he was facing 1st in my League and he beat him something like 15-0 on agg. I might meet him in the final if I make it there.

Grouping teams based on their overall quality is not fair in my opinion but is very profitable for the game as it makes you to spend more and more to be able to compete.

Imagine a Premier League or Bundesliga where everyone is Bayern or City, nobody will invest anymore as there will be just 1 winner and you won't be able to justify your investment.
You are in part correct although I disagree on one point. It is possible to balance out the league and CL, CUP, AND SL pairings very easily. You do this by changing the structure of how the leagues and the levels work. The first change is there should no longer be a loss of 20% by any team, if one arrives first 4 teams go to the next level, and the last four end up in the level under, In other words, say a team is on level 14 and arrives last 4 it goes down into level 13, the first four of level 13 go into level 14 and the last in level 13 go down to level 12 and so on. The other teams remain in the same level are until promoted or relegated to the level under. This system would in time equalize the % of the teams playing in each league or other competition. The leagues need to be structured in other words as the association is structured, Prizes for each competition ought to be in the same type of what one gets in asso. In other words a good amount of tokens, money, and boosters as well. Just with these changes alone, the game would become fairer and more realistic results would ensue.
