well it is easy for you cuz you have landed in great 8.there are 4 teams which are really difficult to beat(golden rule,indiens,all dragoons,fero rebels).then there are 2 teams whom you can beat(hardcourt dunkers and heart winners).so at the end of the season you can be anywhere from the 5th to the 7th spot.next if you reach at the 6th or the 7th spot then you will face a big 8 team in the relegation(who will be having a lower enthusiasm than yours cuz rocker boys,punjab police and probably sluk will battle hard to avoid an 8th place finish) so you would have a good chance of beating him.
so you can easily survive in IPBL.all you need to do is to manage your resources effectively and use your enthusiasm nicely and of course keep your players in good GS.
