    It's been going well in the Super League. I have reached the final after managing to orchestrate a third place finish in the CL groups and a comeback in the semifinal 2nd leg today. Favorite to win the final and the one trophy I never won due to the competition not existing with most of the previous clubs I managed.

    Failed to avoid promotion though, going to finish sixth most likely. Even when I put a much weaker line up, I once achieved a 4-0 win over a 30% stronger opponent. So it will take me longer to train my team next season. However with gaining at least another 30 tokens through associations which will get me to triple digits, and over a thousand rests, I will be more packed with resources than ever.
    You're one of the people that destroys the game. Why can't you just play normally and accept whatever position you end up? Rather than trying to trick the game.. Next season, some hardworking dude will end up in your league and wonder why he's second despite all his efforts? Nordeus should really start banning account of people who tank. It's not cool, and unfair to others who even put real money in the game in order to compete... Meanwhile, this is by no means being aggressive on you or anything, I'm just saying. So, I'm sorry ahead of time if I come off offensive.

    I have worked hard plenty myself in many past seasons. Made good signings, committed to training, flexible tactics, everything. Then out of nowhere in order to win the Champions League I have to face a team that is 20-30% stronger than mine (and all other contenders for the same trophy), usually a manager who somehow added a special ability to all of his players and improved their quality drastically over night. And this is not just an isolated incident, it's a regular occurrence. Those managers seem to just snap a finger and win the treble. Now is that fair towards me and others who can't afford to invest real money or decide to keep it for far more important things than some silly game? Frankly I'd bet that putting anything above minimum amount of real money is more likely to give you a bigger advantage over others than tanking one season.

    All I wanted to do was give myself a better shot for CL just for next season (for which I actually have to win the Super League this week so it's not like I can afford to just sit back and spectate this season either, if anything I have made a gamble by putting all eggs in the SL basket), nothing more than that. Because my Top Eleven ambitions are lower than most other managers - win every competition once and be done with it. I am going to be promoted in the end so there is no chance of me of gaining any advantage anyway...
    United FC: 6 leagues (1 invincible), 1 cup, 2 CLs
    St. Tropez 1964: 6 leagues (1 inv), 1 cup, 1 CL (1 Treble)
    Newton Heath: 7 leagues (2 inv), 1 cup, 1 CL, 1 SLs, 1 SC
    The Black Pearl: 3 leagues (1 inv), 2 cups, 1 CL, 2 SL, 1 SC
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Manchester Heath: 16 leagues (10 inv), 11 Champions Leagues, 11 Cups, 5 Super Leagues, 11 Super Cups... (5 Quadruples, 2 Invincible seasons)

    Noted. I understand you perfectly, I'd be lying if i told you I've never considered tanking myself tbh,... But then, 2 wrongs never made a right.

    I hate tanking, but when I met opponents 20-50% higher in my league...tanking became a righteous cause
