"But, seeing my old opponents 2 levels over me is not good for me."

Thats what I like, me winning without waste a Token, in a league with new people, and more players in the market, and older opponents that waste tokens more near the Top Server, without win Titles if they don't waste a full bank of cash to improve the team every season.

..all depend of how one see/wanna play the game.. of course if you have real friends playing the game in your same level, and you tank, they will be in another level... so, one have to know his target, before decide if tank or not.
