Brian is an OOTP Perfect Team whale.

Brian is impatient and unimaginative.
Brian likes to win. Winning is fun. OOTP Perfect Team is fun.
But sometimes winning isn't as fun as it should be.
Brian's team was 18 games over .500 after 42 games.
Brian stacked up his team with lots and lots and lots of gold players, diamond players, and even some perfect players.
Brian plays in a Silver league.
Brian thought others would stack their teams too. That was Brian's excuse.
But really Brian just wanted all the good cards. Like most 11-year-olds. Of course, Brian is wayyyyyyyy older than 11.
Brian feels bad.
Silver, Bronze and Iron leagues are for having fun, for seeing surprising seasons from half-forgotten players, for discovering hidden gems.
Brian had to bring his Formula 1 car to the go-kart track.
Brian had to "dominate."
Now Brian knows he isn't dominating anything.
He lost sight of what made the game fun in the first place.
Don't be like Brian.

Excellent post. I had been hemming and hawing about putting money in initially. I put money into Hearthstone. I remember playing Championship Manager and having the most fun with the lower division teams where I could try to find the diamond in the rough instead of playing with a stacked champions's league team. I figured it would be the same with this game. Plus, I have a whole year to climb the ladder.
