but if you just stay below the line (some call it tanking), you lose the league level (happens anyway), dont lose player quality and have a much higher chance of a top 4 finish, making the CL the following season - where you can spend any saved tokens / cash to build a fresh team.

Something off in my understanding / logic?
The one thing bad about tanking is you don't get the promotion bonus which is rather significant amount on lower levels which could be spent on more useful purposes like upgrading the buildings. But saying this it doesn't mean tanking is a bad thing especially if you are about to finish below CL spot. The income generated from the CL games(prize money per game) and home fixtures(tickets) is rather is more than the promotion bonuses for 5th 6th and 7th especially if you make it to higher rounds.
