What kind of match prep did you use during the season?
Hey mates,
so I've finished my first season with Darmstadt 98. That's the first season in the 1. Bundesliga for these guys and they've got an average CA of 117 (worst team in the league).
Here's the result:

I did everything as it's described in the OP.
Training, OI's and so on.
In my opinion one of the most important thing is the morale of your team. If you want to have success, the team has to be happy. In pre-season I'm always setting the correct player roles (First team, backup etc) - if you do so, in mid-season the team will not be hard to handle (their morale will be better).
I already said, that I tweaked the 442 several times - I'm not able to say what exactly, because I often changed small things and set them back (there are only some small tweaks!).
You can test it if you want to do so - but keep in mind that the most important thing is the morale and everything described in the OP. Maybe you'll get many yellow cards - don't forget to substitute these players in half-time (not everyone need to be subbed, but the CDs are important).
I would be happy to get some feedback of your tests (of course the tactic need to be fully fluid to work!).
Thanks!
