    why do tanking?

    if there is no chance to win titles, IMHO, you better make a season of transition but still level up

    is very bad not to level up, equivalent to a demotion

    Because.... Players do not lose a star and they will effectively be better players next season in terms of relative quality due to training.

    very wrong. You might tank due to having a not enough strong team to compete in the current season. Not tanking but being promoted means you'll end up with even less quality hence less competitivity in the new season.

    If someone is not a t-buyer, it's very difficult to rebuild a team whole: you might get 3-4 transfers if you are lucky but those won't be enough to grant a strong main 11.

    Tanking the season makes you able to buy players even for one token nearing half or season's end without having to worry about losing a star or having better options in few days. You will then have an extra season to train them, and you'll arrive on the next level with a strong team.

    My friend baku storm did exactly the same and built a team full of 18 and 19 yo in S5, tanking. Now he's lv6 with 20 yo players between 5* and 6*, without having to spend a single token for PT or any else. His quality is still 5-15 higher then the other teams.

    I think tanking is wrong as a concept
    i admire people who had lower Quality side than mine and give me a great run for my money .. i will do the same too..
    is about winning without relying on how strong your side is and more of how good manager you are
