Actually the other day while surveying our league mates, I noticed a very interesting team.
For the first half of the season until ASW, the team had very low roster salary and lost every single game.
After ASW, the team made a few key purchases which enabled the team to win most of the remaining games.
In the end, the team managed to reach the league Finals. Although, did not win the league but managed to still promote.
So, it is hard to say if it will be easy to avoid relegation just by looking at the current opponent strength.
