Here it is the results:

Except Carabao Cup(Knocked out by Liverpool in Semi Final) we won all competitions that we participate.

I also tested it with Frosinone and Osasuna. You can check their test results in comments.

Hey mate. So after the testing, which data we need to calculate? Only just league points, scored goals and conceded goals? We just take average of them? Or what methods do you use ?

We knocked out in FA Cup by Chelsea in Quarter Final. We won all other competitions that we participate.
New tactical trial. This time a 4-3-3 tactic with Positive mentality. I made in possession phase simple as possible. Just low crosses and higher tempo. That's all. Rest of things depends your squad's attributes quality. All players (except GK's) have specific instructions. So when the team in possession phase, offensive actions shape by those instructions.

I think it worked. We only lost Carabao Cup (Knocked out by Blackburn in 4th round) and win all other competitions that we participate.

Here it is the results:

Rico Lewis' statistics: 12(28) 1G 7A
