I'm having the same problem. From last season where I ended in 2nd in all competitions, I'm now 13rd in my league where only 3 teams are better than mine. I watch all my games (and I really mean ALL games) and already played so many games against weaker teams with no manager watching and I can't win (yesterday I lost at home agaisnt a weaker team that had a player sent off at 35' - they managed to score after the sent off!). I tried all possible tactics and it is useless...
