I have bought a couple of scout players which help loads - 6 games in and I'm sitting fairly comfortably on top.

I use a 3-1-4-2 formation.

Cup game tonight [less than 30 minutes away actually] where I'm facing a full on scouted team. Oh well ... He's paid a lot for his win.

[edit] Won the cup game 6-3, woohooo!
At level 2 id consider conceding 5 goals in six games as a fail. I only let in 5 in the whole season!
