Yeah, the contract renewal point is a good one too. You pay a bigger renewal fee as well as salary if the quality of the player is higher.

I wasn't aware that having low quality will put you in a lower level league. I always noticed (or perhaps assumed) that having high quality actually put you in a league with slightly lower quality players i.e. you being the best will put you in the 'number 1' spot. Someone similar would be put in a different league.

Either this or the champion's all got placed in different leagues, number 2s in different leagues up until number 7s etc.

At least I have never noticed that I was put in a league full of players of the same quality.
