Robbrand just said excatly what i think about current association model. Your league results highly influences your standing in association.
This was done to control tankers. But tanking is a problem itself and this is because of poor league system (because there is unlimited league levels and everytime you climb you loose -20%. There are no unlimited divisions in real football. Make league system as asso older model and tanking problem would be solved). I still dont understand why my league placement should influence my association points. That's painful decision.
