Hello,
I'm back on Football Manager again, and boy did I miss it!
Started my first career with Lazio (yet again, as usual every year), finished 4th in Serie A in year 1, with 19 straight wins to start the season. Ended up qualifying for Europa League (lost to Arsenal in best placed Champions' League playoff 1-0 on aggregate...).

Now, I need some help figuring out what to do with my players. It seems as if the AI teams have adjusted well to my wonder tactics from last season, and even though I have much of the same players, I'm doing a lot worse than last sason.
