Last season i was picking 16th yet still ended up with the player i had ranked number one even with mostly human players in my league. I ended up with a 193cm PF with low outside skills which pretty much shows how random the draft can be.

Throwing a game? Ok I know I am a newbie in this league but "throwing a game" I know there are reasons to do this but I have a really hard time with not trying to win, no matter what the benefits are. Take my situation for Sat night game I am sitting at 14-3 and I am playing a team that is 15-2 on their home floor and my best player got injured in tonight's game so he will not be available to play on Sat. I doubt that I could beat this team when I am healthy. So do I play with an energy level of TIE and throw the game or do I go for it with an 18yr old back-up point guard.

'Throwing a game' isn't always bad it can be a strategic move. For example if your think u will lose a game u can TIE to give you a better chance of winning your next game as your enthusiasm will be higher.

An other reason to lose game on purpose, is to avoid 5th place. No PO or relegation games=no income during the PO's.

Yes, I do feel that I will lose this game but I still feel that I should still try and win. The #1 seed is up for grabs. This is a tough call, I feel I owe it to my team to try and win. (Wow, did I really just write that, do I actually think that my team is real?) Thanks for the info and good luck to you.
