Why is there a scenario where you should be permitted to take zero teams? If I'm last pick in like. Shenzen (a weakish even that not many people know anything about) for example. If I just want an average and be guaranteed an average score.
I don't see a legitimate case where you wouldn't just take randoms. Randoms are more entertaining anyways. Maybe you get some killer teams maybe you don't.
I think FF should do everything in its power to incentivize actually picking teams and discourage people from not picking. I mean that's the whole point of this league is it not? We are here to pick teams not find some weird meta where it is better to not pick anybody.
As a side note. Should pick slots continue. I believe we should only be allowed to trade equally in the same teir. Matching pick order isn't enough.
If the rules don't change
TBC will be accepting every and all trades of equal value where we get a better first team slot and you get a better second team slot. Or we get a better second team slot while you get a better third team slot. Contact us at an point as we will gladly take an inherently unfair trade to gain advantage from people. We would be glad to gain a significant advantage over everyone else
With this approved trade RF just boned F3 again. I'm sure it wasn't collusion, but one team definitely got the advantage. Though the draft position delta was the same. Teams don't follow a linear performance in points. RF definitely got the better deal

(I mean it's still way better than the previous one)
TBC (pending approval) is also interested in trading for some select #3 overall pick draft positions.
