I finally tried out Perfect Team after years of ignoring it and had a blast! It was fun to build a team and open packs and slowly improve over the course of the season. I was enthusiastically joining as many tournaments as possible and doing drafts an often as possible to try and scrape for every last point I could to try and improve my team, I did research to find players who would help by best players' chemistry, and I rose to the top of my first league and eventually won the entire thing! For comparison, I now have a handful of players in the 90 range, and a bunch of gold ones, and a few silver and bronze to help with chemistry.

Now because I won, I've been promoted to a league where every single other player has an entire rotation and lineup of players that are 99 or 100 and there is nothing I can do to compete short of spending hundreds of dollars on points to buy players from the marketplace. No amount of tournaments or drafts will give me enough to improve.

And so, I've given up and stopped playing something that I found very fun and engaging for the first week.

So my question is, is it always like this? Is this by design to see if I'll shell out four figures for a superpowered team? Is it just bad luck? I really enjoyed finally playing this mode but now I'm just sad.
