i figured i put pictures of my formation. these are basically how i've been playing since i started playing in September, and like i've said, they worked up until recently...

Your main problem here IS NOT having three at the back but because they are all DC and so you are vunerable on the flank! I play 3 at the back! so I know what im talking about!, when playing 3 you need to play DL,DC,DR much more balanced!, play with blue arrows or none at all, the DMC you have is fine and good extra cover, play him with red or no arrows!,. Now only playing to wide midfield players you leave a gaping hole in the middle so I would drop the AMC and play another MC in the middle or drop the middle ST and replace him for a CM in the middle! this looks much better and gives you plenty of cover forward and back! play your MC AND ST with red arrows on.

my second season i experimented with a DL, DC, DR and it didn't really work for me and i got better results with the 3 DCs so i stuck with them, i'll try it out once again once i get a DL and see what happens.
i want to try the old formation i wanted to try months ago but never really did (2 MCs a AML, AMR, and 1 ST) since even though having 3 strikers gave me results for months (my strikers usually were the top scorers every season up to this one), i never really liked having 3 strikers since my idea of 3 forwards is 2 wingers and a striker not 3 strikers...
i love having an AMC and DMC since i've always believed that those 2 positions are the puppeteers of teams especially the old school AMC/10/playmaker (i've been looking for an AMC with a playmaking ability for ages), so it will be hard for me to give up the AMC (especially since this season he's the only one that has scored so far), i'll try and see what happens though

I play 3-1-4-2 DL,DC,DR,DMC,ML.MC,MC,MR,ST,ST and have won the last 6 league titles in a row! so I can definatley say it works!, ofcourse you also have to have the players and quality for it to work!, its the little simple things that can make all the diffference i.e. DL,ML and 1 ST all left footed or both and DC,MR 1 ST all right footed!! trying to get a perfect balance to your team! once you have this you can then start tweaking your settings to suit. The main reason I like 3-1-4-2 is you have so many formation options you can change to during a live match from attacking to defencive it really is in my opinion the most versatile formation there is, Im surprised at how little its used.

at the end of the day though i think that if my formation didn't work i would not have made it as far as i have and won all the leagues and champions i have (and i normally make it at least to the cup semis as well), and its not like i haven't faced stronger teams either, so because of that i refuse to believe that my formation is the issue

You could be right! it could be the new updates? Nordeus making the game harder I really dont know bud!, Im only going on whats in front of me, I have never managed a double or treble but have never really tried!, I never play my best 11 in the cup and I only play a strong 11 in the CL to qualify for the group stages so I get the revenue. My main concern is winning the league.

understandable.
i'm kind of the same, i focus mainly on the league, i normally make it pretty far in the cup and champions but have never won all 3 tournaments in one season, i've only managed doubles (i probably could have gotten all 3 but i messed up twice by forgetting to replace my starting team for finals after facing a weak league team and not watching the game since my schedule at the time didn't allow me to watch...)
i just played my champions and finally didn't lose, i got a draw... it crazy how many "it almost went in" i got i was reading that just about every 5 seconds...well, at least i didn't lose again...
