Can you elaborate on the easier draw part?
Also, do you want a smooth sailing season or do you want a challenge, against the best YOU can put on the field? If you best is not good enough to compete, then is it the quality of the players, not their skill quality, as there is a difference. If it's not the player quality, then is it tactics, formation etc? Either way, it comes down to the manager, does it not?
