No more tanking, so it is.

Tankers were smart players who would spend a season or two harvesting skill points while leaving the squad in an illegal formation, losing on purpose, building a team full of 6 stars players without spending money in tokens, but apparently...

1-There's no more ball possession penalty, if your players are good you'll win anyway:

2-You may be still promoted if you finish 8th or below:

So, you 're thinking that it isn't coincidence ? ;)

Not a coincidence for sure. Now if you have a team full of 5 starts and even 6 stars, if you use illegal formations you won't titles but you won't stay behind either.

They are telling you, "want a super team? pay for it". Whether in bidding wars, academy 24T players, personal trainer or green and red packs for power training.

They are cutting the ways to win big without spending real life money.

I have never tanked, but i'd like to know how much BP penalty causes player out of position (% per player and for whole team...)?

I also never tanked, just gone semi-inactive by doing no trading except selling my extra players. With a full team of 2* youngers I was able to save up to max cash in a few seasons and load up hundreds of tokens now I can do whatever I like :o

Just put a 3 star oldie (free agent probably) outfield player in goal
