Dave- in the same boat as you. I won my league and the CL last season. As of Thursday I had not lost in a week, was preparing for the CL final and was in 3rd place in my league. Two losses later 2!- I am the CL runner up and in 5th place so won't qualify for the CL next season. Maybe I need a therapist!?

I am still pondering what to do but trying to approach things analytically, will be investing big $$$ in a new MR and aggressively training my existing players. I also need to understand tactics better because my gameplan for the CL final was misconceived and probably lost me a winnable game. So don't tear things up - you have a good team- stay the course and make intelligent squad improvements.

Btw, I feel like I can beat the 4-4-2 mostly, I think it is a vulnerable formation.
