So what happens if you end season lower than 8th position?
Your team will get a x1 multiplier in the following season’ FA (when league top3 finishers will get a x3).
2 consecutive seasons of not being top8 means an auto 3-0 loss for every FA match your team is involved in (basically no asso would consider keeping such a team).
Winning is a form of art. Consistently winning is a show-hand of skills and luck.
