ashamael, the advantage is in the creation of your team. If you know there will be a guaranteed tank team in your league you can create your roster with far fewer minutes (thus far better quality players for the $$$) knowing you will be able to rest players as needed. A team that creates their roster with 18,000 minutes will have no advantage of resting players against a tank team compared to a team who intentionally created a roster with a little over 16,000 minutes and is counting on a tank team to survive the season. It does in fact make a significant difference. Its done with the intention to cheat (not give everybody a freebie). WIS needs to eliminate pathetic cheaters.
That's only an advantage if you happen to be in the same division. That's a 5/23 chance you're banking on. Also, in the league I am in with defender, only one owner had less than 16,500 minutes and that owner went 12-70 so if they happen to be the same owner (almost definitely not), then it wasn't much of an advantage was it? I will go check his other leagues, but this seems like there is no basis to it.
