Hello out there! I started playing Lazio in my first "serious" save, after a few test runs with different teams (only a few games each). The beginning was magnificent. Not talking about the practice games now, but the season. Found a tactic that suited my team perfectly, and the moral was shooting high. I was expected to end up in 11:th place for the season, half way in I was top 3. Then, all of a sudden, nothing works anymore.

The team gets outplayed in every game, first by shear luck we did some draws, but now we're starting to loose as well. I didn't change anything in tactics, the players still gets decent ratings after the game, but we let in a goal or so each game on one single unlucky miss, and all my finishings ends up in the cross bar or gets saved by a lucky keeper. I can't think of anything to change in tactics, it's just that I seem to be terribly unlucky.

Is it meant to be this way to not make things too easy? I have to admit, I "semi-cheated" a little now by not saving, to re-play some matches, but the same things happened over and over again. Not terrible performance, just weird behaviour and unlucky misses. It's getting really frustrating. Any ideas anyone?


P.S Have a Roma game upcoming now. If I loose that too, the fans will torch the stadium, cut my head off and shove it up Pandev's ****.

Well remember if your going to be predicted 13th then ur team is probably not that good, you can pull a Hull and do amazingly well at the start but then things turn on you. Your players could have been playing above their capabilities this happens a lot I find.
 
i also find that it happens a lot as well you have amazing start to the season but once the games have started coming quick and fast reality kicks you and the players in the teeth and they just go back to a basic mid table club

It's possible yes. It might be the games way of compensating for overperforming for a while ^^ Just hope I finish in a good position then, and I'll sign Zuculini and go for the scudetto next year :)

Well thing is, it lasted for so long. I mean, I've played 30 matches now, still number 4, but I've got a bad feeling for the last 8 games.

Sweet. Lost the Roma game, 1-3. The board's trust has started to decrease, and I can't even see how this is my fault. They just make random stupid mistakes. I understand that the game can't let me win everything, but when my team starts to fall apart for no good reason, it feels kind of pointless to manage it at all.
 
What tactics are you using?

A TT&F-based 4-3-3, worked very well the whole season, well, until now. Used an own 4-4-3 the first 10 games or something, worked great, so I downloaded the one I'm using now, and the success went on, so I kept it.

maybe you made a bad decision or bad team talks??

Did pretty much the same team talks through out the season, and it worked well the first 25 games or so, and they didn't complain.
 
The first season can be a bit hit and miss in the top flight with an average team so stick with it.I don't really like 4-3-3,it doesn't really ask enough questions of the opposition and can be very easy to defend against,good luck though.
 
if anything try using a more defensive formation with quick players for counter attacking football
 
i feel that u shud be more patient tho. such things happen in real life as well. oso, i think u shud consider switching to 442 as well.
 
I'm all up for switching to 4-4-2 or anything, the only problem is that the strongest part of my team is my strikers/FC's :P I have like 4 of them, who won't play further back than AMC. All of them are top players pretty much, and can't make use of them with the 4-4-2. Also, I've played wingless the whole season, and haven't really got any fit wing-mids, and in need of byuing a new MC, so can't really afford wings either. I really think that 4-3-3 or the 4-4-2 wingless diamond takes the most out of my team. But straight up regular 4-4-2 will probably take some time to grow into.
 
You not playing with wide men is why your struggling,your too one dimensional and teams know how you will play and it wont be from crosses.When you play a wide formation like a conventional 4-4-2 the threat will come from both the centre (through balls) and the flanks (crossing) so you play is more varied and harder to defend against.A narrow formation the threat only comes from through balls from the centre.

That might be it. I thought this was the time of wingless formations, but maybe I am wrong :D I'm going to gell them to a 4-4-2 from now on, and focus on the next season.

Lost 6 games in a row now, very frustrating to see my team fall down from a secure 4th, to somwhere in the middle :(
 
It's becauses the teams are sussing out your game plan. This happens to me, as soon as this happens i change the tactics whihc would suit my team. It's not your team playing awful, its the other teams stopping the way you play.
 
Ask the board for time to turn things around,maybe that will buy you some time
