Promoted teams from my division last year finished with 12, 12 and 6 wins in d3...A large part of it is probably down to whether you try to win or whether you go for the high draft pick option. I may opt for the latter next year. Might be on for promotions with both my teams though, and I don't want the same plan with both so maybe that's my plan with my regular team instead. Increased ticket sales indeed.
Realised after my last post that despite being 63rd I'm playing a team above me (49th) so we'll both be going up either way.
Would be nice if someone who did know for sure found these posts and confirmed!
