Hi, I'm a new user (two weeks), and I am in a division with 7 other users and 8 bots. This season I planned to tank a little bit - be above bots, win rival games and place 7th or 8th among teams with owners. That would let me practically get the 1st or the 2nd pick (since other 8 teams below me are bots), so I was investing 20k into scouting points.
However, yesterday I won against a team whch I thought was stronger - even when I let my weaker lineup and put TIE. This additional victory really messes up my plans.
So what do you think I should do now? Tank even harder from now on? Or try to win games? I am sure I won't be able to promote this season, because top 2 teams are too strong.
Thanks!

Well I have 6 trainees and as I said, I don't to want lose all the games, I want to win some (like tv or rival games), to keep attendance and merchandise at least stable. Besides, I don't wanna risk a walkover - that way I would drop in the drafts.

If you want to make sure you have the first 'human' pick, then just lose to the bots or fabricate a bad enough Point Differential that you will pick ahead of other teams with the same record. Losing to a bot is not easy, but if you play 3 players and miss GDP on purpose and play bad tactics (like R&G with 2 lucky fans at PG and SG) it should be enough.

Is 3 the number of players I must have on the court to not commit a walkover? What if one of them fouls out?

You only need to start the game with 3 players. If they foul out it doesn't matter.

To add to what @lemonshire said it's always good also to burn your enthousiasm before the game you plan to loose.

Good knowledge considering you're only 2 weeks in the game.
