So if I wanted to try to win in a bronze league by playing only Bronze players thats OK? not OK? What if i really wanted a challenge and wanted to try to go .500 in a bronze league using only players ranked below 60. is that ok? It´s an impossible line drawing exercise.

BTW, I also have no problem with a team intentionally tanking out of a higher league to get to a lower league. Say I am in a Gold league and I have a really cool lineup of all silver players I want to try out in a silver league to see how I can compete. I have no problem at all with that player tanking into the silver league. It´s a game. The only thing they are doing is making other random teams a bit stronger. The divisions are randomly assigned so there is no way to game the system to benefit other teams you control. It´s a random temporary boost to some teams, who cares? If anything, more PP generated through games into the universe benefits players that don´t want to put money into the game.

I´d have no problem with teams that are not actively managed after say 2 full weeks being placed in a league together so that humans are not managing against ghost teams. But if you are managing your team you should be able to do it however you want within the lineup rules set up by the devs.
