Hi Mitchell
I am suffering the same as you.
I am now on season 4, have built my team up to ave 4star 31.5 and ave age of just 21
I should be the strongest team in my league but am getting regularly beat and out of cup already against weaker team
I try counter formations, watch games have greater possession but frustrating to see team beaten regularly dispute all the effort.

Mind you as a West. Ham supporter I should be used to it
Stick in there dude, it's still a fun game and I am sure all will come good in the end, even if we have to miss out on promotion for a season.
