Since that season tanking Altiplano has won 7 leagues, 4 champions leagues ( plus runner up and beaten semi finalist), and 5 cups (plus runner up). In that lot were 3 of my 7 trebles.
I doubt that I would have had that much success without that tanking season. Would I do it again? Yes, if the circumstances were right.
Nordeus are happy to let teams tank and I can understand their reasons. However repetitive tanking (which I have been guilty of doing with my 2nd team) shouldn't be allowed to continue without penalisation.
I was mostly talking about when you play normally. For the longest time I was playing higher level teams in all competitions. The last 2 seasons I have kept only 8 key players and I have lowered my team at the end which has actually helped me playing same level reams. Of course tanking has benefits, Im gonna do it next season because I have bought many scouts in the last 3 seasons and they are not gaining much skills.
