I once found a team deliberately tanking in DV. No risk of relegating further and just keeping the minimum numbet of players and training those 3-4 players for several seasons. I wish I could remember who they were and how that worked out long term. I dont advocate tanking generally but if you're not aversely impacting the game or other human players it is an interesting strategy.

I always enjoy your write ups. Its funny because i find myself doing write ups also so its good to read someone else's thoughts on players, power rankings, etc. So it keeps the league interesting and fun. I will say there is a player that is challenging Tommy for MVP on my team... but he's only played in 3 league games so he's not qualifying to show up on the leauge leader boards... But you SHOULD LOOK AT Everett White. He's averaging 22.7PPG & 16.7 Rebs shooting 62% FG. he just doesn't show up yet. because you need 4 games min he would be second in the league in rebounds right now if he qualified.

If you ask me, tanking should be situational. There are absolutely times I can see where it'd be advantageous. I can see where, a team sells out one season trying to win a championship, and after the season, they're left with very little cash and very old players. If you find yourself in a situation in which you'd probably be relegated even if you tried really hard, why not just scout 40k/wk and fire sale and get a couple, 3 trainees and a bunch of cheap scrubs and a badass trainer and relegate all the way to d5? By the time you made it back to d3, you'd likely have a bigger arena, better staff and more cash and a younger core.

He sure as heck played well when he played me. lol But yes those type of stat lines REALLY kill the hopes of taking home an mvp trophy.

I will tell you all - this is my last run with this team. If we don't promote (unlikely) I am selling it off and tanking. I've had 7-8 great years with this squad but the tank is emptying. I need to go back to the basics.

I am going to sell everything off and target a couple young players, yes. Not sure how much money I will or will not make, as I tend to get stubborn. But my focus after this season will be starting another dynasty run. I have had two separate runs with the Tri-Lams - one got me to D3, the second to D2, but I have always relied on buying players. The problem with that is that you never get those perfect players whose skills outperform their salaries because people train up secondaries at no salary cost. Those guys come up very rarely on the wire and when they do are valued properly.

Plus, as much as I enjoy this league, the reality is I am stuck in purgatory, not good enough to promote, and in a year or two my roster will be obselete.
