Season 76 - Are you ready?

I conceded those goals only since I played a few matches with all players in oppo's half. With a proper formation, I have had only 1 upset, a 0-4.
If my defenders were not in form, I'll like to remind you Atlético Kolkata has conceded only 1 goal in 4 Cup home games and none in 3 CL home games. Overall goals conceded are 3 in 6 and 4 in 7 for Cup and CL respectively. I'm yet to play today's Cup game.

And tanking in league was my target since Day 1.

Yes I realize that, but getting shelled like that definitely has an effect on performance and morale. I've had seasons where one bad cup loss caused a downswing for 5 games without a win.
You need to tank with more subtlety to avoid huge morale loss and form decrease.

I've won more matches than I've lost this season, and I occasionally do field proper teams. But I don't play my most important players in the tanking games (GK Moreau, Klochkov, Jorge (both multiposition DC), MC Garayar, AML/AMC John, AMC/AMR Bircan and AMC/ST David). The listed players have been the most consistent. And Moreau is the captain, so he shouldn't play in a losing cause.

I've taken account of all this before, don't worry. Perfect record in Cup and only 2 losses (both 1-0 away) in CL. I look for the CL/Cup double, those fund me. And I'm getting full house in all competition (yes my league price is £7 compared to £11 in the other two, and it increases as I progress).
