Anyone have any ideas? My team is a 165.4 and the starters are all pretty balanced, everyone is between 4.5* and 6.5* most of theme are 22 or 23 years old with the youngest being 20 and the oldest being 26. Yet I have lost 3 out of the last 5 games that I played in my league and the 12 or 15 point lead I had is now down to a 2 point lead. after the past 7 or 8 games. I show up to every game, I have all my bonuses at 10%, my players fatigue are always 97% or higher, and I do everything the assistant says during the game. Yet I still lose, including a home game against the 12th team in our league whose manager didn't show up. I wouldn't mind so much but I'm in my 31st season and this is my first real shot ever of winning all 3 trophies at once. So any advice you have to get back to winning would be greatly appreciated

P.S. I don't know if it matters, but I didn't change any of my starters all year until the last game when I only changed out one of my MCs

1) Don't do everything your AM advises - e.g. if you're 5-0 up and he says you can't get through their defence, he's talking b*ll*cks.
2) Check if you've got any players in their last year of contract, and re-sign the ones in your 1st XI. I had a three-season hell period which only ended when I started re-signing players earlier in their final year...
3) Change your starting XI occasionally, practice a little squad rotataion, particularly if you're up against weaker sides - starting the same XI every match leads to some sort of toxic shock syndrome which causes them to under-perform.

formations still working but orders are little crazy lately.
So, start a game with one choice and if doesn't work, switch to opposite (after the game break).

Thanks, good advice guys! I can feel it collapsing around me and I really don't want this to be the rest I don't get all 3 trophies

So my vent. Teams who tank all season then suddenly start playing when top 8 is missed. So the team in question have a team of 159 so very strong. Having been a manager for 4 months longer than me it is evident he has tanked a few times to get his team strength up.(have some belief in your ability!) So he has played with a guaranteed losing formation all season but suddenly tonight players his full strength team against me with a 25% better overall team strength. I was playing away and lost 3-1. This is where this game is fundamentally flawed. Tanking Should not be allowed-hard to govern I know but if you are tanking then at least don't screw up the game for managers challenging and playing the game properly. Absolute tosser! Alternatively just do as the rules state and promote these uber strong teams who cheat to keep themselves down and make the game easier for the next season. Rant over.

Part time tankers (substitute t with w) really annoy me. Destroying league integrity I've had 4 such in my league this season and so annoying. Need 2 discourage this. Reduce association tokens and put them in league places 1 to 8

FUUUUUUUUU.......
Last few days Nordeus schedules my games incredibly close to each other I had to spend tokens to re-schedule.

Today:
10:44 League game AWAY (I'm on 1st but not in the clear yet)
13:45 Cup Final (Can't be rescheduled)

WTF NORDEUS???? WTF????

Three hours is the minimum period between kick-offs.

[Chevy114]

I just finished my league match and I have to turn around and play my cup final in 3 hours. I feel your pain!

Oh yeah and I'm out of rests because I played a game a 4 pm and then again at 7 pm last night so I had to use all my rests last night and this morning. But could be worse I had 3 games in 1 day once lol

I contemplated posting this in suggestions, but thought better of it, wouldn't want them to give us any more half cooked updates. ( oohhhhh, are we all looking forward to next weeks mystery upcock, erm sorry cock up, no,no,no, update.
Onto my vent in the form of a suggestion.
Once a manager has made 3 consecutive insulting, tightwad, laughably stupid offers through negotiations we should have a button that we can press whereby we see an animation of The Kray Twins round at the other managers training ground kneecapping his star player with baseball bats. Resulting injuries would cost the insulting manager 2000 treatment packs to heal!
Either give us some option to better negotiate or give us some relief from idiots.

Well, we're not really using this thread for quite a long time now
