First i will explain what happened:
- sold my main central defender (key player), sold two of my first team central midfielders, sold both of my strikers (Kalinic & Babacar) and sold my main GK;
- playing with less than 24 years old goalkeepers, playing with almost as good as my sold central defender, bought 2 new central midfielders, not as good as i want or i had, bought great strikers as Guedetti, Lapadula & Moussa Dembele.
That's my squad so far, personally to me it's weaker than the squad i had when i started the game. I'm totally surprised i won ECL, not even thinking i can get through group stage where i smashed Barcelona 4:0, unfortunately lost second game 1:5. Regarding my struggle, i can explain to you that there are things as morale, injuries and players consistency. When i got all of these things happen at once i struggle for sure, but there is no tactic for FM17 that can prevent this. I see that i have no problems against any formations, it's matter of many things that make game complicated and so real.
Second in the beginning i had 10M euro to buy 2 WBR + 1 WBL and not enough to buy quality replacements of them afterwards. So at the end i can say i'm overachieving not only in ECL, Fiorentina was topping teams stats in Italy and in Europe while playing in ECL.
I had a post, where i uploaded how i played 28 games with Man Utd - 2016/17 (did only incoming 3 specific transfers) and i conceded only 8 goals. Is this a struggle? (i don't want to be offensive, i just want to know what do you want to say with that). I understand struggle as underachieving, but my media prediction is 7th.
thx guzzla ! v. good TAC.
