I found this link very helpful http://forum.topeleven.com/tutorials...ics-guide.html

This same happened with me in last season even I had the best team but I lost all the starting games but then end up winning the league. I like to go offensive but after loosing few games early on I switched to Normal formation with 4-1-2-1-2 and this worked very well for me.

Try Normal of defensive formation and see if it works.

Thanks
