Hi,
I've had a pretty strange season. I tried to build my own tactic and as a newbie that I am, it was abysmal so the first month went horrible. After a lot of research mostly here, in FM Scout, I kind of built a tactic that was going great. Unbeatable for 25 games, the team was performing really good and I was seeing in the pitch what I had drawn out in the tactics, to the very last detail. I was living the dream I tell you! I thought I was the FM prodigy, I was the best thing that had ever happened to this game, my team loved me, fans loved the board loved me!
And then out of the blue (~Hello darkness my old friend~ starts playing), nothing. Towards the end of the season, the very same players that were performing like they should be playing two leagues above us, couldn't even hit the target. I had one of the best attacking records in the league, but now my attacking players are scoring 4 goals in 7 matches (3 of them in one match). Draw after draw with mid-table teams, home losses against teams in the relegation zone. The last quarter of the season is like I'm playing with the worst players ever, and that's the second season that's happening.
The morale is high, all the players are (still) happy, team cohesion is great, they are always starting in better than 93% condition. Tactic familiarity is near 100%. I haven't changed a single thing in my tactics and I am having the same difficulties against all kinds of tactics, tactics that I was beating before. So I'm think it can't be my (awesomely godlike) tactics.
Can someone more experienced than me help me figure what am I missing? The only thing that makes sense is that my natural fitness and stamina are amongst the lowest in the league, but the players are not tired or jaded in any way, so I really don't get it. None of the players "is afraid of big matches" or anything like that...It's like they just shut down.
I thought I should ask you guys before I start tweeking my (awesomely godlike) tactics and ruin them completely, because I was clearly lucky (pffff, no I wasn't) in making them work and I don't think I could do that again
.
Thanks for your help!
