My personal grudge is with Level 7 in that I dislike it and would rather do Level 8's challenge. Maybe it's because I suck at it, but it feels like guessing 3 individuals who are going to score 4 cumulative TDs any given week (and with the restriction that they must all score in a specific way) is more heavily skewed towards luck than knowledge of players/teams unlike a lot of the other levels where it feels a bit more balanced between the two.

To me, it's an easier level when you do fantasy. Not everyone has time to watch games, but a lot of people may have the ability to look at just what kind of players are trending upwards and what teams allow more TDs to that position. Like far too many people just named the obvious Thomas, Hopkins, Buccaneer dudes, Julio, etc. Regardless of opponents or potential injuries. Sometimes, yes, it's luck. But a lot of this is based on luck and some knowledge, and Level 7 is more than just 'hey, what teams are good and what ones are bad.'

Naming the winning team would make it slightly harder I guess. Having as bunch of terrible teams in the league probably does make a 10 pt win easy enough to pick.

See, I don't think the winning team makes it that much harder when you're naming stuff based on terrible teams. Sometimes yes, it'd bring something to become harder because of something like one Falcons game that the obvious pick was the opposing team then suddenly turns out Falcons upset. But I think that feels good when you pick the right game but the wrong team and end up correct anyway. I think that fits for a Level 3 thing to be after some people spent a lot of time on Underdog picking.

However 10 pts still seems low. Maybe two full scores? So 14 difference to make it truly harder? But rise the "close" side to 7?
