Hello Raikan,
After 4 seasons in Glouchester (got them to BSP), I got sacked because of poor results. Season was finished and I jumped to lead newly promoted (to BSN) FC United of Manchester. They have very nice wage budget and I signed more then 20 players. Relegation is expected so whatever I do will be considered sucess.
Quality of players is ofc very bad, but with much worse team I managed to achieve promotion with Glouchester in my first season there. Results are very poor and im in real danger of getting my team relegated. I have tried more that 5 different formations, but still no success. I have tried multiple 424 formations from this forum and even though I have 65% possession I don't have any shots on opposition goal (2-3 max per match) and I get trashed (5 or so - 0) in every match. Seems that in this low leagues I cant play with short passing.
Now I switched to 4-5-1 (1 DMC, 2 MC, 2 Wing, 1 SC), and Im much better in defense as I didnt concede in last 2 games (which is incredible success for leagues worst defense). But I have big problem creating chances. My Wingers are on attack duty, 1 MC support, 1 MC Attack, and SC is on support. My midfield usually gets around 7 rating, but wingers and SC are 6 and below.
Any advice regarding formation and tactics (Im open to changing formation ofc) is more that welcome because I will need all the help in the world to save my team from relegation into oblivion (currently 20 matches played, 19th with 20 points)
