I dont have any trophies

Say What!!! Your trophy case looks full to me.....:P

nice build a NT Team now lol you got like 4NTs in your roster? man tanking doess work even though it's uncompetitive and lots of managers hate it

I think it works well if you have thought it over before doing it. If you just do it without any plan for the future then your doomed to fail as with everything else in this game.

Really, really, really good point!

Yeah, if you tank without working out exactly how it should go, it can go worse than using a non-tanking strategy.

Tanking is a very complicated issue to deal with. I still think that it is not the 'optimal' strategy, but it is a great strategy only if done in a right way. Also, as what was said, it might be not competitive for other teams but if others are patient in doing it, then let them do it. Tanking will probably take 2-3 seasons or more to have an impact. If you are a great manager, 2-3 seasons is enough time to train players and expand your arena.

In short, tanking should not be discouraged to a point where every tankimg team will stop and probably quit the game. It should be discouraged to a point where teams will rake in lower arena income. In that case, make the continuous losing have a more drastic effect on arena attendance.

Note: It is very much needed to identify teams that are tanking to those that have a weak roster or uncompetitive. This will probably be the hardest issue to address.

very true, you can never say these ones tank for sure they just have 6 and 8m respectively in bank accounts and within these cash its a waste to buy any player.

total 10 teams, counting me too tanked this season, some drastically, some not:D

The competition for the first pick was twice as hard as competition for promotion lol, thats bullshits. Even our u-21 nt coach is tanking in my league too lol.

I agree that bbs need to do something about this. For example make draft picks random? How more far away tanking could go? Is next seasons all 16 teams tanking?:D

I don't like that the 5th place gets more rewards than the 2nd/3rd place.

random draft picks is a big NO. draft picks are incentives for teams to get good trainees, if already good teams luckily picked up the first pick, the game will be so imbalanced.

agree. i read that its better to be in 5th place than to enter the playoffs and get eliminated before playoff time since 5th placers don't need to pay player salaries for two weeks. maybe they could change the relegation system so that all teams will be involved.

case in point:
the 5th to 8th seed of every league should play every four teams of the other league and at the end, the top two finishers of each league is safe from relegation. the other two, obviously will fall.

it is a good scenario since all teams will be paying salaries for two weeks just like the finishers of top 4.
