Yes, he is probably tanking and cannot blame him as such as this is one of the way to avoid going through the routine pain (difficulty finding players to buy and then to successfully buy the players) of every season after promotion. This is the way to go if someone still wants to have some fun (events, associations...) without needing to break the bank and to sit hours in front of screen watching auctions list. A good part of the stress and frustration of going through every new season in a new level are avoided. It is evident that playing this game the normal way has become too demanding and such a pain in the long run. Usually one is expected to want to keep going up the levels in a video game, but this is one of the only games where users will opt to stay in the same level and on the lower ones due to the already said negatives of promoting to the next level and also due to certain other things that just get worst in the higher levels. In other words, tanking is a way of making the game more convenient and reasonable.

Desert Rats FC had two torrid matches today, both against ~15%Q teams. First, two goals in the first half were just enough to beat the bottom club in the League, and later, a Cup 1st Leg match against a team they easily dispatched in the League earlier in the season were a tougher nut to crack - the away goal may yet prove useful. The Management has yet to find the tactics or orders that would enable his side to tackle as far up the pitch or as quickly closer in to the opponents goal as these lower-Quality unattended teams do...
The Nouvion Ville FC Management were possibly out-manouvered in their Cup match today, but the 'goalie gave the ball back' goal and the text-only goal after a substitution they conceded may just be the match engine being a b1tch... The League match went to plan, though and they keep the pressure up on the League leaders, who are the visitors tomorrow.

Any formation or tactics advice given is based purely on experience with my teams...
Won 4-1 in the league to maintain a 4 points gap between me and the 2nd place.
In the CL i drawed once again 2-2 in the last game, to keep my lead in the group.
After the last 10 games i have to be honest...I am no longer favourite in any competition because my players turn to crap one game after another...Hopefully i will achieve something in this season.
I also have to mention that all 4 bad results so far ( 3 draws and a loss) have come from away games, i am unbeaten so far home.

I m still around, LOL!
This is the same thing that happened to me, we got eliminated from the CL which ended our 3 in a row hopes, we beat 1st place though 1-4, we were 9% weaker, I’d quit but I thought I would check the result we won 1-4, the manger attended had 54% Possession 22 shots to 13, 9 shots to 7 for their team and we 11-57 in our favour, overall unfair and undeserved as we didn’t train and our players were on 40% condition, typical Nordeus stuff, this will not make me motivated to come back in any way.
