I'm lost! It goes to show that if you spend money which you seem to have done, it doesn't guarantee a result.

Having said that, your first game has no flankers. I use a 4-5-1V which has 4 defenders, a dcm, 2mc's, an aml and amr and 1 striker.

I don't spend money, but running 3rd (level 6) although current results not great, stats are skewed!

Good luck!
