Started my save with the latest patch. Sold couple youngsters to bring some backup forward since Jackson is the only decent available option, and brought Gabigol for 14m.
Preaseason was just fine, everything looked well, but when season started i got a brain damage. Could barely score, all players were around 6.4, 6.5 average rating except Petrovic, it was very hard to make some improvement. Got defeated from all bigger clubs, while was having hard time to win easier matches against Shefild, Luton etc.
Finished both FA and Carabao Cup in first matches, true horor.
Then, i decided to replace Tiago Silva and Sterling with Disasi and Mudryk, made some improvement, and now i am sitting at 6th place 4 matches before the end of the season.
My conclusion is, i have never had more difficulties like now, it is very realistic and hard in this save, i never had this kind of situation, i am playing FM since 2008, and i was shocked.
Will share some more information and pictures when the season is closed.
