I think that would make the best teams richer quicker. When you win matches you already get 3 points, getting too much extra money would create super teams in no time; rich in points and money both.
The best teams are going to be the ones who are topping the games though as well generally. Plus the 2nd div teams are going to have not much chance of topping the games but half of them are certainly going to win a match every week.
Which is why there is this rule:

If you are the highest scorer for a game in your division, your team earns £2m.

and this rule:

Your team can win a maximum of TWO highest scorer bonuses per week.

The first means that division two teams still get the game score bonus, and the second means that teams can't monopolise the highest score bonus.

Because teams get points for winning matches, the money is only there as an extra bonus. As far as I'm aware it didn't even exist that you won money for winning matches until this current flash league. I'd happily do away with it altogether to be honest.

In that case it does not really matter one way or the other which gets the higher prize money other than what you think is more deserving for the greater allocation of money, which in my opinion is the peformance of the team rather than an individual.

But there's still gonna be wages yeah? So you could have the best team in the league and go bankrupt.

1.5m for winning a game, maximum of 2 wins per team and 1 per player

2m for winning your match

IMO.

Nah, no wages. They're just a way of seeping away at a club's bank balance for no reason. Last year when the idea of wages was originally considered, it was so players actually got the money themselves and were ranked at the end in a Rich List. That was to add another competitive aspect to the game so players could try to earn as much money as possible. But it went nowhere and instead wages came back as this current idea to just take money from teams for some reason.

I thought wages were introduced to discourage super teams with all the best players

I don't see the use of them for that really, especially when most of the best players don't want a super team anyway right? Using common sense here, it's the third Flash League so we know that it gets boring if one team steams away - even for the team that steams away. It's why I said earlier that I didn't want to have to leave the team I'm currently in, because if I joined your team (which is already brilliant) we'd likely win all of the time. Same with you, you have common sense and wouldn't do something to mess the whole league up when it could remain fun.
