Any opinions on this match ?

He's 1st, i'm 4th. He has no specialist players and is not present / watching.
His formation : 4-1-3w-1-1
My formation - 3-1-4-1-1

He has most of the possesion to start, about 55 / 45. My main centre back is cautioned. Then the possession bar goes nuts and he has about 90% possession. Then my centre back is given a second yellow and is sent off ( 30 minutes gones ).
I sub a central midfield for a centre back and go 3-1-3W-1-1.
For the remainder of the match i have most of the possession and most chances but do not score.

He wins 1-0.


Why does this game have so many of these weird fixtures, where 10 men play better than 11 or a slight change in formation causes large increases / decreases in possession and shots on goal ?

Deserve to lose. 3dc for his one strikers. Play amc when he has a dmc.

Only thing you had going was one extra mc in midfield but gave up both wings with only one up front.

Eh ? He also had an AMC against a DMC. But after the sending off, if he deserves to win, why do i have more possession and shots ?! He doesn't change tactics because he's not watching.

Formation tactics aren't that simple.
