"Do everything what you can do to win" - Is not cheating

Exactly. Do everything you can to win. So actually try to win with good managing skills, not giving up and throwing all your games so you can roll over everyone in the next season.

If that is the case, then why do people buy Tokens??? To roll over other teams, right???? There is no other reason I can see???? Tanking is another way to do this.
Even token buyers should then be told to win with managing skills not better teams..........

Yes but when players buy tokens to get scouts or bid for players they're at least trying to win. When you tank you've just given up. And some tankers buy tokens any ways so they can power train up they're players for next season while they tank. I see the logic of tanking, but I look down on it. I dislike the idea of people losing on purpose.

I agree losing solely for the purpose of making up a stronger team is not very good, but is u get trolled to the limit and have no hope for CL next season, it is better to stay behind.

I can't say that I don't agree with you but if you don't have any chance also you don't have a lot of time to make some tokens or to search for players why you should fight for 6,7 place?

Why shouldn't you fight to proceed to the next level? If you're team isn't good enough to make the top 7, then it won't make the top 7 and you'll have to remain on the same level, but you'll be able to do it the right way, and you'll become competitive again because of it.

It is not about team being strong enuf to get promoted. If u r out for half the season, return to find urself much Behind top 4 and still in top 7. Wud u like to get promoted for the sake of it????? And no CL means less money next season to buy better players and so, indirectly, u r screwed for next season as well.

for the same reasons why fans stands behind their teams even when they are bottom half of table kind of clubs
people tend to call fans who are in it for the glory a glory hunter, why see that any different?
somehow in between, some had lost their love of football as an entertaining sport , ok your team lose, it $ucks, but ok it was an incredible match.. or may be am to idealistic ?
IN UK, I admire the fans alot who stands by and support their clubs even when they are in far inferior leagues .. they are here not bcz their clubs are winning, but bcz of love of football, the joy of winning, the soreness of losing, the amazing success story when finishing above far stronger side in the league and giving them a run for their money .. where all that has gone?

Exactly!! do "everything", like me, for example that waste tokens to put the matches when the other team is sleeping, to play alone and win more easy

that's cheating? no. thats "strategy". (^-^) like in the comand and conquer. like in the war.. you can attack in the day.. or in the night... with a gun... or a bazooka

Treating each match like a war where anything goes as long as you win. ... love it ... in this scenario the tankers would be the kids down the road who turn up sometimes and let your tyres down or steal your ammo just as you going out to do battle.
