I don't think orders play a massive role in scoring. I personally prefer to play " normal " then use arrows to define how my players act. Last season I hosted 13th 12th 11th. In first half of season I put 8 goals past them, 2nd at the time put 29 goals past all three in the first half of the season. I 5-0 second btw. Second half, i put 36 goals past all three, while former second, got beat in 2, and drew the third game. 2-2, 0-1 and 3-2.

I used same orders, same formation, same team, everything was the same, except my chances got converted instead of missed.
