Hey guys,

I've been playing FM since it was CM and Teddy Sheringham was awesome. I've always been quite good at it and been able to get lower league teams into the premiership with in sort of 5-10 years. However, like alot of people, in this one I am struggling.

I'm Spurs, I finished 14th Season 1 and won the league cup. I have invested in quite a few decent players and have tried multiple formations, but I really can't seem to do well. I've tried 442, 41212, 4321 and so on. I've tried ridiculous variations of Team instructions, and pretty much everything I can think of, but to no avail. Please can someone give me some advice.

To give you an idea of my team, here is my first team including bench:

Gomes
Davide Stanton
Gareth Bale
Ledley King
Jonathon Woodgate
Franco Zuculini
Vedran Corluka
Zdravako Kuzmanovic
Giovani dos Santos
Henri Saviet
Roman Pavlyuchenko
Aaron Lennon
Tom Huddlestone
Michael Dawson
Daniel Carrico
Didier Zokora
Toni Kroos
Federico Laurito

Modric I sold for about 30mil and bent for about 10 mil. Jenas is an overpaid lawnmower for Newcastle now and Jamie O'Hara was getting in the way.

I wish I could say my problem is attacking or defending but it's both. I don't score, and I concede 1 or 2 every game. People who have successfully managed to achieve things with low to mid table teams, what would you do?

Thanks guys.

I've decided that my problem is my constant switching of tactics and players positions. I suppose I've got to let it gel. However, as 3/4 of my team are unhappy, has anyone got any ideas on how to get their spirits up? (Mostly unhappy about me not letting them talk to bigger clubs)
 
offer them new contracts and play dem if u cant fit them in play them every other game works for me
 
stop changing your tactic, if you are desperate, use my tactic from the tactics section untill you start winning some games and your players mentalities will go back up as they seem to be winning. thread is called good tactics for liverpool, tactic infront of your eyes, team instrcutions, arrows, and everything u need to know, check it out it will work
 
Check out my spurs team. I play 442 formation with wingers and full-backs have arrows up, and center-backs having arrows down.
