I changed so many things mates..
Bought new players, new tactic(galore), new team talks, new media talks, everything..
Yesterday, after I posted my last reply here, 2 players came to me with: "Club is underachieving bla bla .."

So, WHATS that...

Okay, I guess I have to start new game or something, and see what will happen. But Im pretty sure that it will happen again, and ..


And another thing I forgot to ask about, Do you all have 5-star training? I mean, In all areas?

Cuz in attacking I got only 3 stars, but in shooting I got 5..

I mean, I bought some new staff additions like Meulensteen, Baldini, Di salvo.. But I cant gain 5 star training in all areas..
Cheers.

1) Training - difficult to get 5 stars in everything but 4 should be enough and you can get coaches to achieve that fairly easily.
2) I don't play wingers so 2 Cental Midfielder. Search Complete Domination which I based my FM10 tactic on. The CB and Anchor Man are so good (Mikel or Essien) that you should be able to attack and score goals without conceding too many.

So my team in Season 3 is:

GK Cech
RB Bosingwa
CB Kjaer
CB Terry
LB Cole
DM Mikel
CM Essien (ball winner or box to box)
CM Hamsik (central midfield
AM Rakitic or Kakuta
TM Lukaku or Deep Lying Kalou
Complete Dzeko or Poacher Kadlec

Then you need to tweak the mentalities or instructions to the players as you see fit.

What is your current squad?
 
maybe john terry is ******** about again thats y ya doing bad m8 ;)
 
Okay, I uploaded screenshots of my team..
Staff, training , Squad

Tactic: Either galore or mikes 442inside
Every game I change it .. I've been advised .

So.. nothing's changed fellas :) SAME S**T DIFFERENT GAME :)

How's your match preperation with each tactic? Consistency counts for more in FM11 than FM10 I've found, you can start using a seemingly fool proof tactic and still get nothing but mediocrity until it's bedded in properly. Don't despair and panic too quickly. Plus there are the occasional, inevitable, losing streaks where everything seems like it should be right but the results still don't come, try swapping players out from game to game but stick with an overall plan, once you start changing everything all the time you give up an all hopes of consistency.

What's the team blending like? Language problems? Certain players still adjusting?

And as a final thought, if the tactics you've downloaded really aren't doing the job, go to a default 4-4-2 and edit the roles to specifically suit your squad, needn't be anything too involved but downloaded tactics can demand completely the wrong thing from individual players, no matter how good they are.
 
All right, i got a tactic for the exact players that you have. I'd suggest playing Neymar left, Silva right and Higuain upfront and train them into those positions as you go. And it pretty much worked for me from the go, but that HUGE squad of yours will defenitely take some gelling. Time to sell players like Kalou, Anelka, Ferreira or drop them into the reserves/
As for training see here,

Lol.. !
Thanks buddy.
One more thing, what match preparation do I need to do for these tactics?

and one more: Would you post here all the coaches and their assignments ? Just to gain that training :)

Cheers!
 
So I have won 6 in a row and not conceded a goal.
I changed the instructions of my full backs to cross from by-line as I wanted to push back Bolton's wingers and look what happened?!?!
They scored 4 goals from getting in behind my full backs and these are Bosingwa and Cole - no ******* mugs.
That is all I changed materially from the last 2 home games where I won 3-0 and 6-1 - this game is just tough!

I find you have to set up your tactics in the pre-match screen with meticolous planning otherwise the computer ***** you over.

**** it off to play black ops now good luck with your new tactics!!
 
ok, youre not made for FM xD try something else :D
 
change your tactics for 1 sesson and change it for away matchs some times
it messes the AI up
i tend to play two tactics
1 with wingers for home matchs
and narrow for away seems to work well
 
Ahh the jokes about Ray Wilkins lol

anyway,

I went through something similar on FM10 when playing as Atletico Madrid, and it happened mid-season with my Sevilla save on FM11,

what i did was what everyone else has said, Changed my tactics around.

Also at the start of my second season i started to play very narrow and resized my pitch for the same thing when playing at home. helped me win alot of important games.

Thats my 2 cents lol

Let us know if your luck changes about :)

Match preperartion? I guess i used team blend for a while but also the two defensive preparations. This was back when i used to care about match preperation:D, now i just leave it on none with some attackin movement training at times.

And here are the assignments, well the ones where you dont have at least 4.5 star (jeez, look at the no of players you have training compared to mine:P) :
 
What happened me sometimes was that a tactic went stale or the team got complacent so results dropped. Have you tried a new tactic and be slightly harsh when in interviews to try keep performances up?

Also chelsea have a fairly old squad and some players stats will drop so maybe try sign a few ready made replacements for them?

I tried signing new players, nothings changed :)
 
wow footballholic, really nice of you to bring up the screenshots.

anyway blueheart , you tend to buy too many players. try to hold yourself back and stick with your first XI n subs.

how's your new save coming along?

DON'T GIVE UP MAN! Whilst long winless streaks can be demoralising - tuning your selection and tactics to turn it around is what the game is all about for me.

I find doing that a lot more satsifying than just buying my way to League Title with no problems along the way - feels like I have actually acheived something!
