I'm back to FM for the first time in about 15 years so i'm by no means an expert but just sharing what has worked. I'm season 1, Spurs attempting for the second time after being sacked just after Christmas first time round because I was clueless. Second time round I chose vertical tiki-taka. And then I hired the best Assistant Manager I could find. To begin with I ignored his advice around tactical changes before matches. Quite a cautious coach whereas I'm gung-ho. After a few losses occurred I just started agreeing with him and ticking "Do it" to his advice and went on a great run up to 4th place. Then I hit a MID - SEASON SLUMP. I googled it and the general advice was just tweak your formation or a few roles within your tactic. So all I did was change my formation to another within the Vertical tiki-taka options. I went from 4-3-3 DM Wide to 4-2-3-1 and am now in the middle of a brilliant run. In 3rd place currently end of Jan. I also think the 4-2-3-1 suited the players I had. I had bought Maddison and was desperately trying to make him a Mezzala but he's a lot happier now as a bog-standard attacking-mid.
