Anatomy of a Dynasty Tank

So, I hated the team. 

It wasn’t all bad, but it wasn’t entirely good, either. 

I might have been able to guide it to another La Liga playoff appearance, though not without trading multiple future picks.

All four of those guys are now gone, traded — scattered across the league in exchange for 2026 first-round selections.

Again, it must be repeated: I hated the team. 

When I decided to detonate the squad, its record was 1-2. It was scoring at an unremarkable level. It had earned those two losses. A gutless team.
