If you do not promote this season, you will start a lot stronger next season. This season might be a vacation (aka tank season) for you. Others that get promoted will face stronger teams next season and will not promote for sure. It just happens. I am in a similar league now. I do have the highest quality in the league but am number 8 right now. If it stays this way then so be it. I don't have a lot of problems with that. Troll results on the other hand........ If that is the reason I end up 8th then I will be angry
