A Guide for tanking (tips and stories too)

3 Goalkeepers ? wth
That was my first thought when open the account of my reserves TIGRAN, tanking at level 1.


Then I realized that it was his front line
It was a reserve team, also staying at LV1, keeping high q for asso games



24 tackling from the ... nobody defender lol

I didn't played like 2-3 years and I started again last year in November. I left my team at level 8 and I founded at level 12.

hmm, interesting.
So what is it writing in your club history ?
What happened at that period ?
Did you promote for 4 seasons ?

Anther tanking season for TIGRAN, my LV1 reserves.
But usually I try to play in the Cup games normally.

Today I had a league game and had my weak team with an abnormal formation.

Suddenly, in the evening I realized (watching the friend's schedule from my first team, NIK) that I had a Cup game.

Panic !

Start watching from about 25' min.
Oppo was already there.

My team ? What a mess


I made 3 subs, switch positions and orders and the team became like that


I managed to get a draw in the last minutes (with 10 players )


oppo must had a shock


so passed in the next round

Wow Nik, you are going to get very popular on this forum: not only you are tanking, you put your players out of position, you do not attend (half of) your game but you dared troll the poor Partizan ! Some were dipped in tar and feathers for less than that !!

well, most of my favorite threads are now history
(
- How to increase the income of your team - buying young free agents
- How to find fast trainers
- Start from the beginning, LV1
- How to prepare your team for a treble next season )

so I guess this thread also gonna be history, sooner or later.


* What is really amazing is that in some games like this, changes are so interactive (changing positions, subs, orders, bonus) and in other games the result is fixed no matter what.

Season 93 and there were two contests this season (for first time)
One was the top scorers of the League teams, who are under 23
there other was super subs, players who score after a sub.

Two teams I have now in the LV1
TIGRAN won the contest of U23 and came 2nd in super subs.
18 tokens but must be careful as the team is very close to promotion zone.





ALEXANDROSS was 2nd in U23 contest and 1st in super subs.
Also 18 tokens. Remaining in the same lv is secure.

this team (LV2) is experimental, doesn't count

Another successful tanking season for TIGRAN
Stayed again in the same LV1, won the Cup and got 5 tokens from the All attack contest (points from goals) - the 5th place.

What is not good in tanking is to have a super player and want to hit some records with him.
This was the last day-season for Ronaldo (of NIK).
Great player, scorer, penalty and F-K and assists too.
Ronaldo had 6 tanking seasons in his career so could add many goals at those periods (only in a few games of the cup).
If I was active all this period, he could score more than 1000 goals.
Of course, tanking helped me to keep him in high quality at this age.

Season 95 and we had a contest playing vs Mourinho's team.
TIGRAN and ALEXANDROSS, the teams I have at parking of lv1 did a pretty good job
(better than NIK)
