Performance drop

So season 7 started this week and I couldn't help notice a few new teams including some that will certainly be a challenge. I was hoping to do a bit better this season but by the looks of it I think that's not going to happen. I have now played a 4 games:

Zoah FC 1x4 Chaparros United (#31)
Zoah FC 2x0 Baltimore Mongooses
Baltimore Mongooses 2x1 Zoah FC
Zoah FC 0x3 Frankfurt Galaxy (#18)

As you can see it wasn't the best start I could ask for but I have also played some tough teams which doesn't help the cause. I actually though my team was a bit stronger this season since I swapped a few of my worst players for a few decent ones. Looking at my team's wage however I definately went down, despite having a youth team now. So really after considering everything I think my team will struggle a bit this season, but hopefully I can finish on the top half of my FA, ideally 8th or 9th. I did keep a lot of my senior players from last season, which were players that basically helped my team jump from a 400-500th rank to 97th (today). Players like Nosworthy, Gargula, Hibbert, which were amazing last season but are now starting to suffer more and more because of their age.

I'm hoping to keep them in the team at least for this season, squeeze as much as I can out of them and then retire them. Who knows I may even find a new manager in need of experienced players like them who may be willing to buy them at a low price.
As I mentioned before, I have also started playing with a youth team, both in U21 and U19. So far my team has had quite a bit of success despite my severe lack of players. I will make sure to post the teams profile up when I'm more comfortable with my roster, it's just too small right now. So far they have won ? games, tied ? and lost ?, not bad. They also seem to be increasing their attributes already, which is nice. I'll make sure to post more about my future Zoah FC stars.
