What went wrong?

[Benn94]

I took over Everton in the 2012/2013 after Everton finished 4th the season before. I set my expectations to champions league spots, and the season went really well for the first half. I was first in the league with around 50 points when things started to slip. Some injuries played their part but I think the problem was more down to the tactic and players than injuries.

I have taken a load of pictures to help me explain my problem. My problem is, I dont know why the team slipped in the second half of the season. I used JP's Wenger style 4-4-2 for the whole season and I cannot remember tweaking the tactic at all.

I personally thought that the players were tired, due to too many apps, but the players were always 100% match fit and 90% condition.

Next season I would like to use a defensive mid and possibly wingers. Which formation would you suggest my players fit? Is there a good formation to download which you think would suit my players?

I'm sure you can tell that i'm new to playing around with formations and stuff, i can just about buy a player who will fit a certain role.

Any help would be appreciated!

tbh, the game would be pretty darn boring if 1 tactic could make u go through 60 seasons winning everything right?

just the AI's catching up to your tricks, try slight small changes and see what happens.
