54 carrier
Still tinkering with match training but getting the feeling it's a lot more powerful than I realised; was working through 2017/8 with a newly promoted Coventry using a mix of Leviathan, another user's defensive version of Leviathan and Hannibal. Started well then went through a horrible run of form.
Then, on a whim, changed general training from Balanced to Teamwork and match training from Defensive to Tactics. Then went on a blinding run that ended with an FA Cup Final and promotion via the Playoffs (away leg in the Semi won 4-0 and the final 2-0 against a strong Villa side).
Hopefully this wasn't a fluke... First season in the Prem with Europa League on top will be brutal!
edit: Biggest struggle was finding an L1/Championship player who suited the CF role, signed Jordan Rhodes from Middlesborough (he was REQ); very, very strongly recommended!
