I think you've got it backwards. Let's say I've got 100,000 PP and a whale has 1,000,000, the 1.5x multiplier means I gain 50,000 PP and they gain 500,000. This effect could be amplified by the multiplier scaling with higher league levels. This seems like it should shift the balance further toward the folks who are spending more money, even more than it already is. Maybe somebody smarter about economics has a reason this won't be the case, but that's my initial reaction.
As far as the subscription model in general, it feels a bit like when some food delivery app or whatever adds an extra fee. You're paying more for the same thing, but they convolute the process to obscure the price change. It comes off like they've got you by the balls and they know it, so they are going to hit you with an extra charge. But they need a friendlier spin, so they call it a "service fee". It's not a 1:1 comparison, but it's hard not to feel like it's a way to make Perfect Team more expensive without really making it better.
Note: I love OOTP, I buy the game every year, I don't want to come off as some perpetually furious customer. I just think the pay-to-win stuff is depressing, because Perfect Team would be really fun without it. Just my two cents.
