Did you buy any wonderkids in at the start of the game, it's a lot easier to do that and develop them as opposed to buying expensive players later on! Also you can generally make a profit on players like Wellington nem (got him for £3.5mil at the start and sold him for £20mil at the end of the second!) formation wise t depends what type of players you have!? It's all about money, keep the wage bill low and get into Europe, just try and improve a little each season mate!
