I really do not know what has happened. When FM 2008 first came out I lost all the time. I could not buy a win, but after a while I managed to find a tactic (Slightly varied for Home and Away) that I seemed to win with most of the time.
I haven't played FM for about 6 months until this update came out, but I still had the tactic saved.
I started a season as AFC Wimbledon in the Blue Square South and loaded up the tactic and expected to get relative success. However I was completely wrong. After 12 games I was 18/22 (2 points outside the relegation zone) with 1 win, 6 draws and 5 losses. I thought that maybe with lower league teams that the tactic may be too complex with all the specific player instructions and highish creative freedom.
So I decided to start a season with Ajax. I thought that Ajax easily have good enough players to cope with the player instructions and creative freedom and they only really have 3 teams of equal quality in the league so really it should be a breeze, it should be fairly hard for any tactic to fail really. But again, I was wrong. 7 games in I was 17/18 with 1 win, 2 draws and 4 losses, and to make matters worse I got knocked out in the 1st round of the UEFA cup against Kayserispor!!! (I didn't have to play the preliminary rounds) To be fair, 2 of them losses were against the 2 teams that are of equal quality, but still I lost against relegation candidates and if you know the dutch league, you will know the massive gulf in quality between the top 3 and the bottom 3.
Having looked at my results, they all seem to have very low scores. I almost always lost by 1 goal.
I really am at a loss of what to do. This tactic seemed to be fine 6 months ago. (Mainly with Norwich)
I've included some screenshots, and also I've included the tactics so anyone who feels like trying to help me can load them up and have a look at the individual player instructions in depth.

Does anyone know what's wrong with these?
