You are far better off starting off with a level 4 team than taking any of the intermediate leveled teams and cash because you should easily exceed the offer given for those levels
you should go:
4 ----> 14/18 ----> 22/26 and after your 3rd season have a completed stadium as opposed to this from the announcements:
Lv 26 - Stadium: +Lower Home Left, +Lower Home Right, +Lower Away Left, +Lower Away Right, +Lower Endzone Left; Cash: 6,000,000; Fan Support: 30/10/0
so, people were planning to drop down to a level 14 thru level 46 level are going to be totally screwed over by this announcement because they will be so far behind the teams that started from scratch
we actually go from dropping down from being overpowered to being way underpowered - definitely missed the mark with this one
