Although I disagree, its fair enough.

And to be fair, my intention wasn't really to tank anyway. Being a split round I named a lot of players from last weeks matches in my 22, knowing that most of them wouldn't play and that more recognised players would come in. And also knowing I was playing a strong side and had no chance of winning, I figured I'd give the kids a run. So its not really tanking if I was never going to win anyway.

I just hope I can continue to have some flexibility with my team. I have a lot of kids and I like to play them when they are named, which I think is mirroring reality and in a way developing my side - it's like an AFL club giving them a shot and giving them experience. I will however ensure my gun players are always named which I think is the main issue here. But it would be a great shame if I am accussed of tanking again if I name some unproven youngsters instead of proven players, even though my personal opinion may be that that the kids would be better than the players they replace.

As you said, its about trying to replicate how a club would operate. That is the point about having teams pick to position so that 22 mids aren't named.

A club may well leave out a mid level player to blood youth. Clubs would never leave out their key players though.
