Hi all. I started as Peterborough and won promotion in my first season. I then had one and a half decent seasons in the championship, before moving to premier league Newcastle. We had about 12 games left and it was tough, but i took them from 15th to 11th. i had a big clear out over the summer and brought in some quality - Nick Pope, Tammy Abraham, Rhian Brewster, but we are having a stinker. Routinely getting beaten 3-0, 5-2, 7-1! I’ve tried loads of downloaded tactics, tried playing defensively, attacking, balanced - we win the odd match, so I think I’m onto something, then we get thumped at home by the bottom side. Has anyone got any ideas?

First thing, I am new here, so sorry if I miss out things that I should mention etc. So, I always encounter a problem in the second/third season in where my squad struggles not for possession, chances or shots on target but for a result, here are my three tactics that I use but can be changed in game if required to: I've lost 2 of my opening 5 games whereas last season I only lost 4 in the league during the whole season and won the treble. I thought that my recent struggles could be due a massive overhaul I made during the summer transfer market where I replaced all the deadwood with exciting and better players, but had a very good pre-season with lots of games against tough opponents. My main issues are that I have a lot of shots on targets but cannot score and defensively my team is no where near as good as it was last season where I scored the most goals and conceding the least in the league. My tactics have not changed other than in my away formation where last season I played with my DM as a regista and this season I have gone for DLP to accommodate Declan Rice. Willing to try tips and tactics recommended and try fix this sooner before the league runs away from me! Once again I am new so sorry if I posted anything wrong! Thank you!

Hey Im new to this community and relatively new to football manager. Im currently in my third year of underperforming at Roma. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of tactics but I can't translate it into the game. Where should I look to both help develop my tactic and also be able to analyse my tactic to see what is going wrong and how to fix it? thanks for any replies

This is the first game of Football Manager 2019 that I've played (I got the game at Christmas) and I'm playing with a friend, who swapped Middlesbrough into the Premier League in the place of Huddersfield. I've played FM18 a bit and did a similar save over the summer with more success. However, with a slightly different squad and different signings, tactics and opposition, I've encountered significantly more problems. My team generally creates a lot of chances and I have one of the highest chances / game ratios in the league. I made significantly more attacking signings than defensive signings but this is a defence that conceded less than 1 a game over the first 20 in the Championship this real-life season, so I figured that it shouldn't be too leaky. Attack wise, I brought in Josh King for £20m and Collin Quaner for £8m who are good goalscorers yet appear to be missing lots and lots of chances. At the back I signed Bilbao's Inigo Lekue who has proved extremely useful in an attacking WB spot, but not so well defensively. Otherwise, I signed winger Georges-Kévin Nkoudou for LW and Michel Vorm for GK. This has left me with 5 points from a possible 39. I've attached the tactic I used, a 5-4-1 formation with relatively attacking wing-backs. Originally, I was using a lot of different tactics, foolishly trying to desperately find a system that worked and I ended up shipping a lot of goals. However, following back-to-back points against the top 6 I was feeling hopeful. Sadly, in the next few games the 4-2-4 system I was using failed against more level opponents as I was creating very little. I've stuck to the attached system after my performances have improved but I still cannot pick up any points. I've tried moving about my line of engagement but if I bring it too far down, I cannot score a goal but if I put it further up, opposition AMs roam freely in the gap. My team has been saddled with injuries but I strongly believe nothing would have changed if they'd been fit. Is there any way I should tweak my tactics, completely overhaul them or just persevere with what I've got? Should I be playing more defensively or more attacking i.e. play to my strengths or protect my weaknesses? Were my signings a poor decision and who should I look at in the January transfer window (the date is 28th November).
