I'm having the same sort of issues this season in the league (level 24).

I'm two wins, two draws and two defeats from my first 6, putting me in 8th. Won all my cup and CL games however.

It just seems I'm getting no consistency what so ever in the league. There are 3 teams with better squad quality than me overall, but I've only played one of them so far (and drew with them so that wasn't an awful result!), yet I've really struggled to get going. Both wins have been by a single goal too.

I'm confident that I will improve over the season without the need to bring new players in, but I doubt I will be challenging for the title this year. I'm going to have to focus on qualifying for the CL to keep my consecutive seasons in that going.
