Yes, I would say It's one of the biggest problem in BB at the moment. I'm not sure it can entirely eliminated though...

How to stop 'tanking'?
- Higher salary floor (Dodor suggestion), which affect less profit,
- Salary cap - teams won't 'tank' if they can't buy players for short period (Not once I have seen teams have higher salary in relegation game than league winners)
- Transactions limit - they won't change their whole roster in one season

I think that's all

What about you can't sell/fire more than three players in a given season/you can't buy any more than a given slaary (like you can't buy a 60k monster, below the highest payed player in that leaguy.....in my league IDK how my rival is keeping this 76k monster-Bode-Diggtiy Dogs)

I think better idea is transactions limit set at 5 buys and 5 sell in one season. No salary limit (only you can't exceed salary cap). There will be no day-trading, everybody will make long-term decisions.

Lets see...
We're talking about tanking...
And you're complaining about a team that's 3-0 and has an expensive player,or
kind of...the opposite of tanking
I think he's spending to try and promote

Here we go again, now you know I could've killed his team with the old players I had if they showed up, next time I meet them though, I'll CT them to kill em.......by then my main trainee C (James Coleman) will be at least at sensational IS (I'm training IS right now)


PS I think I'll TIE this next game cause this team is a bad 6th seed

Headless T Gunner was saying that having a 76k player in div V would be the opposite of tanking so you bringing it up in a discussion about tanking makes zero sense.

Honestly tanking really isn't a problem in our country. In our case it''s more of the boredom of playing in the same league season after season when you reach league 2 that some decide to tank in the end. When you stay in league 2 for 4 to 6 seasons, you meet the same teams over and over again. Sometimes I wish BB would mix up the teams randomly in league 2 every season so that opponents would vary. There are just some leagues that have teams that are so tough that it's hard to promote to the next level.
