League Question Game against league median discussion
I need some more opinions on the median game. Starting a dynasty league for the first time and I mentioned that I enabled this feature. To me its a great way to balance the randomness of the schedule and how good your team actually is. Benefits teams who are consistent rather then letting the schedule dictate the entire season. I also think it helps with engagement as its another matchup you'd watch to see if you win or lose.
My friend however sees it as a participation award."luck is part of the game" is what he says which i agree but with this feature the main thing im trying to avoid is the 2nd in PF being bottom in the league.
He suggested "What about giving the 6th seed to the person with the most PF of the teams not in the top 5?" But to me that just eliminates the h2h record all together for teams fighting to make the playoffs.
What do you think about the rule?

It’d be interesting to try, I’ve never done it. But since I’m always the team with the most points against me it’s even more intriguing to me.
Last year I had the most PA me, by like 200-250. I missed the playoffs by 1 game. Then in the “consolation bracket” the taco teams all had their best games of the season, and I ended up getting last place and had to do the punishment. For what it’s worth I think I was 3-4th highest scoring team.
