Yeah, the story about Sakho and Fazio is true. Had them in FM 2008 and they showed classy performance, shame that I forgot them in FM09. When my two friends won't discover them then I'll sign one of them next season. But I had some more brighter results after writing about my problem.

My current formation
My schedule and current tactics (Barry got free role)

Probably people look that it's so default but with more attacking or defensive approach I can't win at all.

From your results there, looks to me like your problem is away from home. Maybe a slightly more defensive formation for away games could work, ie having wingers at ML/R instead of AML/R.

try not playing the offside trap and maybe not even counter-attack. set your defensive line deeper whilst the rest of the team more offensive. that's a tricky formation though, I've used it with PSG, and despite having 4 strikers at the same time (AML/R pushed forward to FC) at the end of the season I still had like 20 goals less than Olympique Marseille, who played with a single forward (Vagner-fucking-Love though).

Excellent results. Yeah, for some reason the offside trap just doesn't work in this game. There are too many goalkeeper assists on long balls to play it. I usually set my defensive line relatively deep. I experimented with some Total Football principles of pushing the d-line really far up and pressing all over the field, but you just get beat way too often. And if the computer missed as many 1 on 1's as I do, I might do it anyway, but unfortunately their players actually finish those.

I'm so damn angry again. Started new game with my friends and I'm going crazy! This time I get draw's. I attack and attack but no goals : / Then Hertha BSC for example get penalty.. then I trail 1:0.. after that I get very unlogical goal and we are all tied again. My biggest problem is that forwards don't score. And I don't now what kind of tactics I should play because 4-4-2 doesn't work and 4-1-3-2 don't work as well which worked in Aston Villa.

I don't really have injury problems, but it does seem like new signings often get struck down by long term injuries in their first month.
