    Hi, a tanked season is always a failure and a waste of time,don't forget it.

    Moreover,I failed level 5 twice,so now I could have been at level 24,rather than level 22,
    though my manager carrier hasn't been so bad from that moment.

    My actual league is very hard,but I want to be promoted,possibly from 1 to 4 place,
    but even 5,6 or 7 place should be ok.

    At the moment I'm at the 5 position,at -3 points from the 3 leaders.
    Today I defeated away 2-4 one of these leaders.
    I won against 3 of the 4 teams that are ahead of me (3 victories and 1 defeat),but I was stopped by 3 teams behind me (1 victory, 2 draws and 1 defeat).


    I have been changing and enforcing my team little by little,and results are starting to improve.
    Even a 0-0 result may be good against a strong team,since each team may be stopped by another one.

    I'd never arrange a whole season to arrive at 8 or lower positions.....

    Well then that is the difference between me and you. You see, I tank every second season and I now have 14 scouts(6*) and 1 world class(7*) in my team of 22 players, the rest are 5*

    It may be considered a waste of time, but if you think of it as a team building venture, it is totally worth it. It wont guarantee I will win the next season at all, but it gives me a hell of an excellent chance considering I will be put in a weaker league because I finished the season is such a low position.

    Tank and be proud of it.

    It's fine if it is fair for other managers in your league. Maybe using a consistent (and weak) formation, not applying skill points, or at least consistently ignoring your team.
