Poor form after title has been won?

Does this always happen? I'm struggling to draw games and players who were playing well are now making lots of mistakes and having bad games.

Its your tactics.

because the players thinks they got absolutely nothing to play for and basically just stop playing

Hmm does it really matter? Just give some youth a chance:)

Don't listen to these two. Its your tactics.

do you actually have anything useful 2 say???

Have you changed your team talks?

It might be their hidden stats. Do you have lots of players of whom your assistant says "XYZ relishes the big matches"?

I haven't changed my team talks. Bizarrely their morale has fallen sharply since we won the title. Squad morale is only good now. I don't understand this at all. The tactics were fine until I won the league.

Have a look at your assistant feedback before the matches, it may say something like 'looked cocky and over confident in the warm up' some of your players may now be over confident because you won the title. Try team talks like 'I expect a win' and 'dissapointed'

It's over now but I conceded 7 goals in my last four games which is a third of the overall number I've conceded in the whole season. Next season I'll be more careful.

It's not tactics. It's teamtalk.

Basically, your options get reduced - you'll only have four teamtalk options pre-match.

Crucially, it doesn't have "You Can Win This!" or "For The Fans!" - so you have no motivational options.

Your best bet is actually to just use no team talk whatsoever in this instance or, at most, "Wish Luck".

It happens to me alot - also happens in second leg cup games sometimes. Really annoying stuff!

Did anybody have any reactions to the team talk: `for the fans!` at all? I tried it a couple of times against stronger sides, but the players didn`t care. Have I used it at the wrong time?

Strangely enough `wish luck` works fine for me, players react most of the time and are happy or delighted. It`s a bit odd, but what the hell.
