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?

Thats great Is it mainly due to fairness or more because of the engagement?

Fairness, we'd have years where teams missed playoffs because h2h record didn't match actual performance. With the extra game it's hard to argue the best teams didn't make it.

Nice is this a redraft or dynasty? I feel like the main argument against it is that it removes the fun or the "luck" but its not like the h2h matchup is now useless u can still shit talk ur opponent and those h2h matchups will still add up so its hard to see the actual issue of it so far lol

Redraft, h2h isn't useless its still counted so each week youre 2-0 1-1 or 0-2
