First, I believe that a good, active and ambitious manager it's hard to fail in 1-4 placing
(exception the top server levels or if playing with some friends, active managers).

The old times, tanking wasn't an issue (and at that time there wasn't the Super League motivation).

Better search the root of evil :
asso top 100 and the new auctions system where you need at least 100-120 tokens to build a new team
I dont know if I am good , depends on how you measure it I guess , but I win a few Leagues here and there. My teams are usually a permanent fixture in the top 4 , I am active every day and reasonably ambitious for my level. This season however 1 of my teams finds itself in the position already where it cant win the title ( baring something outrageous happening) and would probably be lucky to reach top 4. Its my fault the team is in this position due to my experimenting with different things on this team. However the fact remains it is where it is so for the first time I have the question before me - do I push on and hope for a top 4 spot which would mean a serious rebuild and retool for the team , quite costly , or do I just push the eject button on the season and fall away into the bottom 6 ( which would actually mean more experimentation and not tanking as such) which may result in my very average team finishing 7th or 8th and getting slugged 20% , a 20% it cant really afford to lose without a total rebuild next season ( if I have the coin to do it).

Hence my thought for teams finishing 5-8. Anyway it was just a thought.............
