Can't stand 'Tankers' - its cheating and should be discouraged

[BigB79]

I can see the argument for both sides. I wouldn't say it was cheating but a way for non token buyers to build a squad.

But also I think it is a bit of an achievement to get promoted each season.

I considered tanking last season because I refused to buy tokens I found myself falling behind a few teams and I had a bad start to the season, but I then thought it would be good to have been promoted 13 seasons in a row.

@ BigB79.. Would you say, even though it is difficult, there is better financial rewards to move up the ladder?

Without a doubt.

Ive won the league nearly every season and been in the champions league every season and ive never worried about cash at all mainly because of the prize money ive earned.

I couldnt tell you how much money i make from ticket money and i dont even worry about how much wages cost. Ive got about 240m in the bank just now and thats after i just spent 130m on players.

there is another reason for tanking and that is if you are top of your server and getting no 5 star player`s in the market then why not get a couple of level`s above you so when you get promoted there should more 5 star player`s i know there are at least 4 levels above me now so when promoted i should not have problem with 5 star player`s on the transfer list

But why would you *need* 5 star players if you're at the top of your server? Everyone else is in the same position then, so the quality is all relative.

Becoz token buyers will buy 6* scout and u won't be able to buy even 5* to be even some competition to them.........

This is codswollop! You do not automatically lose because you have a worse team on paper. As quoted by Nordeus "Tactics can overcome any team, even those teams that are of much higher quality" and i agree - The amount of times i have beaten higher opposition by altering tactics.

For instance I once played a level 8 team when i was level 3 and her team was so much better and she was top of the league and hadn't lost all season. I noticed she played 3 up front but only 3 at the back and played very narrow (through the middle) so i switched to 5 at the back, playing down the flanks and forced counter attacks. I won 5-1. I am a strong believer of moving things around to suit your circumstances.

However you do automatically lose if you have nothing to play for. During the season, you're struggling and find yourself in 7th, what's the point in getting promoted and not getting any Champions League out of it? On top of that, all players will lose a star and you'll find yourself even weaker.

Tanking is a strategy in this game. Forget real life aspects because this game reflects nothing of the sort. That's how people want to play their game then that's fine. It's not breaking any rules, I'm not getting another account to give me free points every season and win the league. It's done within the confines of the game so I can't see why this is an ongoing argument. It's no different to me power training players and winning the league by 25 points every season...

Everyone will think I'm a tanker this season because of my full 6,7 star players. I finished last season at 8th position because all strongest teams were on my league. they had 8,9 star players
