I sometimes feel discouraged. Like if I miss a home game, then followed by two hard matches away morale plummets and the entire season gets compromised. For example I started well with Aldershot (a generally weak team in its championship), mid september I was 6°, than missed some matches (away, by nothin... just one goal, while generally dominating the match) and then morale plummeted and started to miss home games too. I'm now 11 out of 24, board is happy, though me not really. It feel so 'randomy', as per say. Latest game 22-6 shots, 55% possession for us but we draw. Well I'm not competetive like the AI away, and I'm talking just about score. There even if I dominate the matches generally I lose, by one goal, but lose.

Speaking about this. I have this problem lately. Managing Man Utd. Sold off Lukaku, a day before the first game vs Arsenal. Drew a lot. Win a match or two. Then lost a lot too. Players all in good mood but the squad couldn't score to win, mainly because my main striker has left. It almost made me want to reload and play again. But I endured it massively. 

Eventually, my young striker finally stepped up, entering the new year. 

My point is - sometimes i think the game wants to put you through this period and then it will slowly come up again. In the past, I will reload and replay until I win, win and win to gain that confidence back. 

This time, I just endured and finally I get back my winning streak. But of course, I didn't win the league that season. Ended up Number 3 w Spurs won the league under Pep.

Give up. Don't buy. They will win you Away.

Anyway, it's not a football game, it's a chess game, so you don't need to understand football, just have logic.

That is pretty much what I think too. But without the right players, it'll be harder for you to win the 'chess' game. 

[Let´s talk Target Man.]

Personally, I had Lukaku as my TM on FM2019 with Manchester United. 

He himself is already a great striker, but having him on TM as Support, both my wingers, Martial and Lingard scored tons of goals. 

 

*unrelated topic - Lingard is overrated in this version though.
