i think that is what he meant in #752.
one suggestion >
if you are low on resources you can maximize them by tanking. lol.

just give this a thought for a moment -
till the time your FTs serve you well and you are able to manage each season pretty good through farming don't tank. then when they become older and get to that point where you can't afford power training them that would be the right time to tank.
now here comes the most important point; remember why you are tanking - tanking for resources not for titles.
so don't buy FTs now. buy anyone who won't cost you more than 3 tokens. make an average team and don't rob someone else from the titles he deserve.
this way you will be able to gain maximum greens and tokens too. these tanking season try to stay level with your opponents(in terms of team quality) as this would be the best time to test for you to test tactics in friendlies, cup and CL, not in league of course. so tanking can be good till the time it doesn't it isn't bad for others.
now when you have extravagant resources you can create a legend.

wait for TE 2019 think about it after new release and updates.
