Hi All,
This is the first year I have tried to create my own tactics and not use plug and play setups. I wanted to have a long term save on the easier side so I picked The Spartans in Scotlands League 2.
Over the seasons I used a combination of 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1, altering them as I moved through the leagues. I won league 2 in the first season, I won league 1 at the 2nd attempt, and it took 3 attempts to win the Championship. I have now just completed my 2nd season in the SPL. During the first season, I suspect my rep was so low that no one gave me any respect and I somehow finished 2nd.
This is where the issue lies, this season I had a nightmare. I assume now teams no longer overlook me, hence my 6th placed finish. Now I know for The Spartans a 6th place finish is excellent. However, as I'm a noob at this, I have no doubt my tactical non-genius mind will be hindering the team somewhat. The annoying thing is I had a pretty successful Europa League campaign managing to qualify from the league phase, but I again assume this is down to teams overlooking me.
Can you guys have a look at the 2 tactics mainly used this season and see what improvements can be made? Please let me know if you need any additional details to help me out.
