The Level 4 Tanking, No Videos, Only Association, Youth Academy Team (experiment)

[Der_Ryan_M]

Hi, just a quick little update here with this team.

Last season, when this thread was created, we weren't able to tank due to a very very weak and inactive league and we were promoted to Level 5 unfortunately.

Now in Level 5 however, we had such a weak reserve team, so that we could deploy a 11% starting formation (in the line-tanking formation with every player on a wrong position), which was good enough to lose a lot of games, even vs again a very inactive league, to secure the 13th spot and successfully tank.



Money really isn't the problem in the lower levels when you tank, because player wages are so cheap and you don't even need the ticket income and so on.

The squad is of course still under development and nowhere near a good team, which could compete in the higher association leagues. But we still have a bit of time and will keep on developing our youth players and others to have a 100+% team in some seasons.
This is the team right now:





The goal is now to get our youth players in every season, give everyone a SA and after that build him up by a bit of casual training and bonus training, so that his overall % is rising and he can replace the older and weak players in the starting eleven. I hope, that in a few seasons we have a good squad and a little rotation going on, where we can replace an older player with a guy who was from the youth and learned his SA and developed a few seasons with the team already.

Will update here again next season!!!
