Actually I have won 2 or 3 games against lot stronger team (because I've been placed on a cup with higher level than me), and the strategy I used is always defend-counter attack-tackling hard-own half pressure-zonal marking.
I think that should works against stronger team.
In Cup is complety something else, I win 3-1 against level 13 with level 3.... I can't say it was formation just the other guy was inactive thats all, he's players moral was very poor, very poor and thats why they didn't play anything, same at you more then sure, post a picture with that guys which you beated (last 5 results)
i beat in cup a team who was 2 stars better than me but my defensive tactic was important because i didnt give any chances for him and countered into the next round
i also beat once team from 7 levels higher, 1-0 he couldnt score i think he went crazy but return was 8-0 for him
so i dont think there is much difference between your team and his..its important who has best system
I hope that the manager who start the thread understood now
you must understand from now not after that because it's important for you if you wanted to be an experienced manager fastly.
this game directed and managed buy so bad engine and don't put in their account that there are v.strong managers doing all things that make them win ( Morale full ... the formation & tactics ... money bonus ... watching the game online ... friends support you or us ) and finally forced you to be beaten from too much and so much bad/weak manager who may be also inactive hahaha ...
If you know that nothing make you sure you will win the game or the trophy, then you will be the strongest manager ever .
I want you know also that complaining will not make anything and won't change anything even in your dreams .
I lost many trophy with no logical reason but what? I shouted and complain 1st and then when i knew that all of these is ****, I stopped doing anything and play only waiting that all things going alright and win the trophy finally but if not means i will do nothing
I agree with you!
In one season I played a cup final against a friend. We have been playing friendly matches before and I won 95% of them, because he was a level under me. And guess what? I lost the final, even though I gave maximum winning price and motivated all players! 5 minutes after the final we played a friendly match again (again same formation, tactics as the cup final) and I beat him 6:1!!!!!
Also recently I was watching a match and it said that the opponent got red card and I was leading 1:0. I logged out of the game and saw later the match summary. I have beaten him 2-1, but he was leading and no red card was mentioned....
This season is a total joke! Another friend of mine is in the same league as I. Last season he played with nearly the same team (maybe he bought 3 new players) and was 7th. I won the last season and bought some 6 new players and now he is 4th and I´m 10th, even though my average mark is far better than his! Also I forgot to make changes before the match and my players were playing on different positions like goalkepper in midfield and so on. The server was down and I could not log in. Later I saw the summary and I played 1:1 to a far superior team. WTF????? Maybe they wanted to make the game more realistic with more surprising results, but hell, this is a game and you should have control over the game and not the other way round....
