How low are you planning on going with the club reputations? Just had a quick look, and the lowest rep teams at level 10 are 200. So, did a little test. I took charge at Abingdon United, a random 200 rep team who are predicted to finish bottom in the Hellenic League Division 1. Grabbed a few key staff so I could find some players to sign, and was quickly recommended players who are far too good for a level 10 club. So, even at 200 rep, clubs can sign players they realistically shouldn't be able to.
