Actually, it is not that bad especially considering massive drop in form (defenders, forwards, and wingers) due to stamina training. I need to get something like 250-260 stars to be able to compete efficiently. Now my maximal threshold even with better form than now is around 240 at home and I can add 20 extra stars onto midfield (or attack) in 4-5 weeks by selling a couple of useless atm players and doing well in the cup (this might be harder) and fix form of the defenders (still on formidable-excellent skill there except the keeper) while continuing to train wingers. Passable defense should be OK for this season though I need to improve attack a bit and midfield considerably to be able to get to solid low MF in away games and excellent high at home while motsing. With this I should be able to win most of the home games (5 out of 7) and draw a couple of away games (2-4 out of 7) for a total of 17-19 points that might be enough to catch the train and stay away from direct relegation by grabbing 6th place.

lost 4-1 with b-midfiled and pic, aiming for a cuprun and 5th place in the league, sicne there are three weaker teams I should be able to beat. This was not one of them.

Won 0-9 against a new side. :)
