Just wondering: It's only 12 days into the season and already I have nine players with yellow card. All four MCs, 3 of 4 STs, an AMC and an ML/AML.
Been doing good this season so far. League: 9 wins, 1 draw, no losses. Cup: 5 wins, 1 draw, no losses. CL: 4 wins, 1 draw, no losses.
Been fielding the first players with yellow cards in games against stronger teams in the hope that they get another yellow card so they could rest the next game and start clean after that. But, it doesn't happen. Other players get the yellow cards instead.
I use defensive mentality most of the time, mixed focus and passing, high pressing, normal tackling, zonal marking with counter attacks but no offside trap. I change tactics occasionally, depending on the opposing formation, but that is my "default".
What do you think I need to change?
