Help-Advice Needed!

[ilkork]

Hi,i am playing fm many years now.The version i enjoyed most was fm12.I haven't played fm13 much and i recently bought fm14 and started a save.I am managing Olympiakos Piraeus(Greek Champion) but i have some problems.I can't understand 100% how it works from fm13 till now,cause new things were added.Team/player instructions and training are changed.Also,in my first save(lasted 1 month only,fm month) i was doing everything wrong,i was losing in friendlies from all the teams,so i started a new save with new tactic(control-balanced).
I started the game on 01.06.2013 so to have more time to prepare my team.
Here are my instructions for the 3 tactics i use:
4-5-1-Control(my main tactic)

4-5-1-Counter(against stronger teams)
View attachment 392335
4-5-1-Attacking(if i am losing,i use this to try to score)
View attachment 392334
1) Am i giving too much instructions?
2) Do i have to give fewer because my players aren't world class thus not able to follow all these instructions?
3) Should i just wait till tactic familiarity levels reach 100% to see better results?

Training i did so far:
02.06-08.06-Fitness High
09.06-15.06-Fitness High
16.06-22.06-Fitness Very High
23.06-29.06-Fitness Very High
30.06-06.07-Team Cohesion Very High
07.07-13.07-Team Cohesion Very High
14.07-20.07-Fitness Very High
21.07-27.07-Fitness Very High
28.07-03.08-Attacking Very High

Planned training to do:
04.08-10.08-Defending Very High(i have a match against liverpool,so,have to look my defence)
11.08-17.08-Team Cohesion Very High
18.08-24.08-Attacking High( i have my 1st championship match against weaker side)

The friendlies i've played so far:

I chose lower reputation teams in order to fix my club's morale.The only difficult friendly is vs Liverpool.
Another problem,my striker Saviola(trequartista) doesn't score!My sub striker too!All my goals are from midfielders.
Do you have any advice to give me?Am i on the right way right now?

your attachments aren't working mate.

Never trust friendly results... i had a atletico save where i lost to Chivas USA 4-0 and the first game of the season i trounced Real Madrid 5-1 haha
