This!!! I'm playing for the challenge. Sure... I start a game to win it, but I prefer to lose on close teams by good managing instead to win vs weak teams. I really enjoy my first league, where it's not sure, I'm the winner (because of many friends).

Exact... there was no need to start a comparision. Top Eleven has nothing to do with real soccer. So why don't give an competition, where not money matters?
In this case, it would be possible, that a 7* teams has to be on the buttom, if there are another teams, that have money AND good managers.

For sure, if 7* FAs face each other too. If 122pts winner face each other next weekend, you're right. That's much fair than playing against much weaker FAs. Have not seen 3*, 4* FAs with this points. Only a few 5* and 6*.
