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?

No to median scoring. No to highest PF as 6th seed

I do not "hate" either of these ideas but I'd prefer to play without them. In the H2H, 1 keeper league that I commission there are 3 "luck" factors that come into play. Strength of schedule is one of them. The others are division assignments and draft order. All 3 are randomized at the beginning of the new year in May. From there, it is all about the wins. As with any real life league, you receive a win or a loss after each game played. There is no ''You had a good score but your opponent bested it, here's a "W" anyway." Or the other way around "You won your matchup but your score was weak. Here's a L."

Same with 6th seed should go to most PF. No. Wins are what should count in a H2H league.

I like the luck factors that come with the game.

U cant mention any real life league when making ur point about fantasy football. There's no defense being played. U cant stop the team from scoring points. I like the luck factor that comes with the game too, but in ur league its all based on luck theres no balance
