The OP does seen to get really defensive and worked up easily.

You should welcome the debate, this forum is boring enough without a bit of banter!

When you manipulate a game to your advantage it's obvious there will be people who don't agree, and it is a free forum, where everyone is entitled to an opinion, so I think everybody needs to make a nice cup of tea, chill out, and have some gentlemanly banter.
Really? Its bad enough that there is a constant imbalance because of serious token buyers, that we need people to try this little trick just because they cant win? I think this little trick puts them BELOW the people who friend someone in their competition just to friendly them and tire out their team so they lose. It just shows that one does not have the proper mentality to compete on a fair playing ground.

Yes, but they unload on a smaller level and it is usually when a new coach or new management comes in. 5 players is sort of the max that I have seen in my years as a hockey enthusiast. And baseball - getting rid of a starting rotation is the equivalent and that almost never happens.

There is always a revolving door unless you win and win consistantly. If you win, why change a winning formula unless you choose for the future and can add to your winning formula.

The method of the OP is just a copout. He cant win the cup and feels the need to cheat to do so. Selling all your players would not be considered cheating, but selling all your players for worthless mugs just to lower your quality so you can play lower quality teams, then buying 4/5 star or scout players to increase your quality to the max for your level to wipe out the competition is completely unethical in any competition. It shows: lack of class, mental fortitude, and patience - qualities proven to be non-existant by reading the posts of the OP.
