If You'll have no chance to promotion in next season You should tanking. Tanking is great solution, especially in league full of bots.
Of course You could still win matches with bots, even with tanking. So You should try to do it. Bots have players with salaries = 2-4k. So all You need to beat them is to have players with salaries = 3-5k ;-) You always need few traines and few scrubs to fill squads, it should be enoguh. Bots don't manage minutes (gameshape) and enthusiasm, so it should be easy to beat them, even with players which are worth 1k. And You shouldn't spend more money if it isn't neccessary.

You make no sense! How is tanking a good solution in a league of bots? Tanking means you try to lose every game, usually so you can get a higher draft pick. However the great thing about bots is they don't put any thought into the draft. So Tanking is a TERRIBLE solution in a league full of bots.


"Of course You could still win matches with bots, even with tanking. So You should try to do it."


Again, What are you saying!?

You should still try to win when you are tanking?

No, tanking and losing are two different things.

I'm not sure where you got your definition of tanking, but I'm pretty sure everyone else knows that if you are tanking you are losing on purpose. Just look at the title of this post.

You can lose all matches without tanking...
So tanking doesn't mean losing.

Of course you can lose all matches without tanking
but tanking is the "attempt" to lose,
losing on purpose
kind of, like, the title
