Whoa, with PES you actually learn how the league system works

.
I didn´t know anything about SkyBet league play ofs until now, since I made it to the 3rd place in the chart.
I´m playing with a 4-2-2-2 formation with two strikers.
Next to Poulsen I used to have Afobe as a second striker and he was like a lite version of Lukaku.
Really great player and I wanted to keep him as long as possible but then a club bought him through the release clause and I couldn´t do anything about it. WTF??!
Well I needed a replacement and bought L. Martinez as a second striker.
He´s okay but I don´t really get warm with him.
In PES 2017 I made it to sign Inaki Williams. I had so much fun with him! Fast, good dribbler.
Since then I keep trying to get him again, but never made it.
Now I traded L. Martinez in and have to pay 6 millions and Williams and his club finally agreed!
Next transfer window is in December though, so I have to wait 2 months more. The deal is done though.
Struggling to find my sweet spot.
I play on full manual and switched back to regular as with professional (prepatch) I couldn´t win anything and I didn´t wanna stay in the 2nd division for another year.
Regular feels okay, but at times too easy, even matches against stronger clubs like Liverpool or Man City are really hard.
Gonna try professional again.
