Hello. I've only made a few posts on these forums, but I check up most days. I come today asking for some advice. No matter what team I play as, what formations I play, transfers I make I slump in January, right at the start. This has happened with these teams: Arsenal, Everton, Bayern Munich, Derby County, and a few others. It's an issue I just can't break out of. No matter what I do. And honestly, it's frustrating the **** out of me. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what I can do to break out of these awful slumps I get. It makes me rage like you couldn't imagine, seeing as whatever team I play, this happens and it costs me silverware. I'm clearly doing something wrong.

Another thing I've noticed, is I'm conceding ALOT Of late goals. 86-90+ minutes is the normality.
Things like this: http://puu.sh/2SOjG.jpg I go from beating Tottenham, City, Milan, to this. And it's ALWAYS At January. Without question. FYI: In this particular instance, I'm Arsenal. I signed Lewondonski who flopped like you couldn't imagine, and that's about it.
Any advice is greatly ​appreciated on this. Thanks.

Additional note: I'm aware other managers will learn of your tactics, but I've tried oh, so many to try and counter this. Nothing seems to work.

It sounds to me like your team are getting complacent, both during matches (Which is why you are conceding late goals) and during the season. Do you always try to "big-up" your team in press conferences, and always praise your players? Try putting pressure onto your team by praising other teams, saying it will be a close match, etc.
 
Erm, no that much generally only if a player plays badly for a while or is tired. Is that the issue?

Its probably a mixture between the players being slightly complecent AND getting exhausted. I am not saying you need to use a full rotation system, switching half the team every game, but you do need to rest them every 4th game or so
 
always happens for me also. Although I usually choosing a BSS/N team and working my way up so guaranteed not to have enough players to rotate.
