6 + 2 Point Deductions


3 games to go, a team like Wolves would just play all the kids, give them experience, while also not minding if they finish 15th instead of 9th. Set them up nicely for the following season with a bigger budget. Hard to make it equitable.

Some some sort of squashing of the gap between top and bottom teams could work. F1 teams get more wind tunnel time for the following season the lower they finish. The issue is making the upside down reward big enough to make a difference, but small enough to not randomly damage any top teams that have EARNT their place at the top (rather than cheating/overspending), which muddies the rewards for sporting excellence.
I definitely see your point there. It just seems wrong to reward the minted clubs who finish near the top with even more money.
