Worst start in the league despite having the best avarage quality squad.

Based on your form of the players of the first page there is not much to complain about. Lots of 7-8-9's. The game just trolls your from time to time. I had a team which was in the lead for 13 points and then my performance dropped from average 7,9 to 6,1 loosing all games and ending up third that season. The drop in form was for 6 of my players (MC/wingers/Str).

All you can do is try stuff around untill you find the right form. Switch your mc's around. Switch your strikers around. Do it during the match to see if they improve on the other side of the field. It helps sometimes. I use the same style as you and it helped me.

My league games are really draining me this season. My team should be in the top 5 based on quality of the team, but instead i'm in 9th place. My forms are all good, but the team just isn't producing goals. I'm lucky if I walk away with a single goal every match.

85% of the time there are no managers watching for the other side.

I've been reading everyone's suggestions and tips, but nothing is working.

@Son of Pitches If you have not tried counter formations, may suggest to give it a try and may be with defensive mentality. Works for me. Have had seasons where ST's were poor and MC's chipping in with odd goals but still win by not conceding.
