From the recent situation which includes new server, woeful defeat and injuries, etc, saws lots of the players venting. dv8r and Ljepoje already tanking for this season. Talking about tanking the season, is there anyone looking forward to take a break from the game for a season and when we come back next season, we'll continue?
what mean for new server?
The negative effect of new server are:Quote:

etc...
These has an effect to the team's performance
I'm tanking this season, but my reason is not one of those above. I had already planned to do so in the middle of last season
I wanted to tank last season to get 1st place this season but I was promoted last minute so now I might have to tank 1 or 2 seasons.
I was trying to tank last season, but I ended up almost getting Champions League place, missed by 1 point lololololololololQuote:

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.Quote:

Taking a break from the game. They will set their team to illegal formation so that they don't get promoted. Optionally, they will also sign some retiring 3* players to fill their team for the next season.Quote:

I'll try to go as deep as possible in CL & Cup.
if I can not win, I prefer to try to win champions league and finish in the top four places in the leagueQuote:

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.
weak.
While I understand the reason for tanking and the logic behind it, it still seems a bit funny to lose on purpose cause you dont want to lose next season. :D Having said that...crazy season indeed.
something i dont understand here, i have 21 players, if i take break so my team will play with itself so maybe they will win and get a 7th position so i want to tank but my team win and will get level up.and also i dont understand how the team will change into illegal while i have normal teams with 21 players???and from where they will retire 3* players?the oldest player in my team have 29y... sorry about my english and thanks for answering on my questionsQuote:

I'd think it would be best to make the decision after you have played R13, then it's fairer on every other team in the league then because everyone would of played you once as active and once being tanked.Quote:

is about winning without relying on how strong your side is and more of how good manager you are
But you would be in a rather poor league position to begin with to consider tanking at halfway through the season.Quote:

based on this game and the **** random results, I'm 8th after 5 matches.
go figure what's actually considered as a poor league position.. to me, anything but first.
So far, my tanking has been quite successful. 13th place, with 2 draws and 3 losses from 5 league games. I won my first 2 rounds in the Cup and now preparing for the 3rd round.
today i had draw with the weakest team in league.so can i tank league but play in CL?i want to win CL in this season because if i tank season so i will not play in CL next season,what i must do now?
Tank the league but play your best in the CL.Quote:

Likewise :D Have a 1-0-5 record in the league but kicking ass in the CL ;)Quote:

just scored my first 2 goals since I started tanking, match ended 10-2.
I'm not tanking.. Just on auto-pilot
