Hi,
I'm playing as Blackpool and it's currently March 2015, so I've been there for about four seasons.
I got promoted via the playoffs on my second season, we did start out fairly well off but admittedly
I flashed the cash a bit too much and signed big players on rather silly wages, which leaves us
relatively poor - although secure at the minute. But I was last given about 200k as a transfer
budget which for a premiership is next to useless. Last season we avoided relegation just about and
I'm currently 15th but just can't seem to win games and score goals what am I doing wrong?
The team itself is pretty strong - I've got Glen Whelan, Karl Henry, Matt Phillips, Frimpong, Lansbury
and Thomas Ince in midfield and upfront I've got ex-Bayern Munich striker Nils Petersen (who is
rated highly but no matter how much I interact or build tactics round him can't score), Aruna Dindane
who is about 34 and our lead scorer with a mere 6 goals, Adel Taarabt and young Lucas Piazon who
is meant to end up being an epic but so far haven't seen anything from him except a few goals. I'm tempteed
to sell Petersen in the summer and buy this young Mexican kid, Carlos Fierro, I almost bought him last summer
but the transfer failed at the last minute because he failed a medical.
What sort of things can I do to actually get some money, as none of my players could really be sold
to get much money and what can I do to get some wins? I've tried all sorts of formations. I train them
in 4-3-3-, 4-4-2 and 4-5-1.
By means of experiment I saved right before a fixture - lost it 1-0 with 442, so I reloaded it and tried
it with 4-5-1 and lost 2-1 and then tried it with 4-3-3 and lost 2-1. I changed my tactics fully for each
of these games but it was completely futile. This was against West Brom too, who are actually below us
in 16th place.
