Thank you for the insightful explanation. It's clear that you've developed a thoughtful approach to team management, balancing short-term and long-term goals.
I particularly appreciate your point about the benefits of tanking while training younger players. It makes sense that having a cheaper roster can help mitigate the financial impact of lower fan surveys.
Your mention of the management theory is also intriguing. While being in the middle of the league may not be desirable, I can see how it might be challenging to consistently implement a "win or tank" strategy.
To further clarify, I'd like to explore the nuances of tanking. Does intentionally ceding matches, potentially resulting in a 50-0 loss or a walkover, not jeopardize draft standing? I understand that draft rankings are based on league position, but I'm curious to know whether deliberately accumulating losses could indirectly harm one's draft prospects.
In other words, is it possible to balance the benefits of tanking with the need to maintain a competitive draft position? I'd appreciate your thoughts on this delicate balance.
Do you find that this approach requires a significant amount of planning and foresight, particularly when it comes to identifying and developing young talent?
And thank you for your patience in your answers
