The new league draw system

[Blackkiwi]

Here's mine. I'm getting really annoyed with these 'tanking teams'. It's stupid. If they perform crap, they should be relegated, just like in normal football. I don't see why they should be allowed to stay in their league level. But anyway


Sorry about the poor editing. My programs don't like me.

Relegation can't work with the current mechanic imo. Tanking teams tank to build resources or increase Q or both to be competitive at the current level. Put them down a level and they will gain even more since their players will be, relatively speaking, 1 star better. You might then think penalise those relegated teams, well how would you differentiate between a competitive 8th placed team, a tanker, abandoned team or someone taking a break.

Think how those tanks would look using the current mechanics if they were relegated from Level 13 where they had an even higher level TM+Season's SP rather than a lvl 12 Market + season's SP.

Tanking does serve a purpose. Its not just about seeking an advantage. It maintains population too allowing those 35T players to maintain a presence rather than leaving for somewhere else.

Anyway, decided to fire up the numbers. Here's one of my alt teams draw by Q.

Top 7 teams: 30.1, 29.9, 29.5, 29.1, 28.4, 28.1 & 28.0
Bottom 7: 25.4, 25.4, 25.2, 25.0, 24.6, 24.5, 24.4

Could just be coincidence but again I think the league is composed of 2 weighted groups.
