Well that sucks XD
How much do you struggle? I mean, I don't want a tactic that just wins everything with a mid table team as it seems "well what's the point?" When you're trying to get your rep up to sign big players, since you win everything anyway. I'm perfectly fine with it losing a fair number of games, and finishing like 7th-12th or something, just not fine with getting sacked in November
I'll have to try it with another team then. Maybe I'll try and make Dortmund a consistently massive team, or maybe try and make someone like Everton huge then. I'll give that a go today in Classic mode to see if it is that the tactic doesn't work so well in Classic or if it just doesn't like Swansea (which seems pretty strange, because other than having to offload their wingers and Britton not being that suited to being a ball winning midfielder they do have the right kind of players. A perfect Shadow Striker, Shelvey is a good BBM, De Guzman decent there too and you can get Honda with them. Very attacking full backs and their strikers are pretty decent flase 9s.)
Oh well, will let you know.
