I confirm. I change their nationalty every season. Also you can change it on players that never played a snap in their career which I do on few players I sign from TM and from YA players I buy. Of course that limits strongly the pool of players I can buy. Yet where would be the fun if it was easy?

Since all the changes making building a team easier I've completely stopped using the TM and only go with homegrown and drafted players. My starting QB is the last player I have from the TM, bought him 7/8 seasons ago, but his replacements are both homegrown and everyone else is from my YA or drafted by me.

Me too. I have abandoned the TM - my only exception was that I was forced to use it a couple of seasons ago when I lost half of my team and had to replace them in days before the season began. Otherwise they are from the YA or draft - although the draft is becoming less relevant for me as the players are consistently below what I get from the YA.

Losing on purpose when you are an established team is lame. By doing so you are stealing draft picks to teams who really need those (that's the reason why the draft exists!) and you may impact negatively the play-off picture. This is selfish, and all but fair-play.


Is there any difference (impact and punishment) when it's not an "established team" ?

Wo do not make that difference. Tanking is tanking, and caught is caught

I look this term up so I have question is the QB the healer and who the hell would be the wizard? Are the LB the meat shield warriors? The WRs are the ones running like little girls? I no get.

Copy and paste of definition below.

tanking
comes from mmorpgs, where you would have a healer in your party and a person with high defense. (i.e. meat sack-o-shield warriors). the warrior rush an opponent and the monk would do their best to keep the warrior alive with healing and stat bonuses. then, the other members could
a)fight and hit hard
b)run away like scared little girls

so, in essence, it is a big distraction to open opportunites for attack or to run away, like a sacrifice but to keepp it alive.
Chaos Deity had the best plan to win by tanking the enemy patrol and having his team run away.

To tank = to lose on purpose.

I've already lost on purpose, once and only once, and I've never "tanked".

Guess when and I'll offer you the 12 months supporter package (if Pete agrees).

I want the matchID only, nothing else.

This is what it says:

Tanking
Usually in people with eating disorders, Tanking is drinking a large amount of water in a short time to gain weight before a weigh in.
'I've lost 2lbs, I'm going to have to do some serious tanking before my weigh in on friday.'
'She is just tanking to get out.'

You were protecting a wizard or drinking large volumes of water?

These double meaning in English really becomes tedious.
