What they can do to prevent stop tanking is to fix the Association without mixing the other competitions.

If you look like on a bigger picture, tanking in League which eventually include Cup and CL is differently then tanking in Associations. Is like a long term vs a short term or temporary one for different reasons.

I cannot blame those who tank in-game because of different reasons like "taking a break". I am here with many others who are playing this game for 5,6 years and is exhausting to keep it on a high level literally every single season. While tanking in Association and take the advantage of the competition every single weekend is more like cheating. Literally both of them can be counted as cheating or not at all, take them as you want.

All this story can be fixed very easy by simply using the random factor. If you have a 4 stars team and you deal with a 6 stars team that's it, that's your progress in-game get over and be happy if you can get some good results.

I don't find it fair from Nordeus to put 9 stars vs 9 stars, what's fair into that? Spending lots of money for winning same as somebody who have a 2,3 stars team? Clearly not fair.

Basically that's my point, if they fix the Association in any way, I hope they will do it without touching the game to much or involve other features of the game.
