Yeah I'm in the same boat great games all the time.
with lots of competitive teams all able to win the league.
When i started i just wanted to win trophy after trophy so after season 1 i Manipulated the draw for my league teams opponents season 2 and just found it boring.
No skill what so ever to win games against teams so inferior or not active.
Last 2 seasons i never did any manipulating of draws and yes its much harder but its way more fun playing teams playing around the same ability who actually log in and play.
It's a game end of the day and playing non active teams is no fun.
You also learn quite alot more rather than winning every game to 0.
good luck in ur league hunt mcdoomer. if you win it you will get more satisfaction knowing you actually beat someone rather than a team unmanaged or uncared for.
Good Luck!
