I have a better team but still loosing

[Andrew Nifield]

I match I lost with 2-1 and second with 1-0. Unable to score goal and conceding on counter attacks. I think instead of attacking I can go for defensive with counter attack. What do you suggest?

I change my tactics almost every match, but it seems like if you are playing a low press, you would prolly be better off playing defensive. Your formation isn't defensive, though. So you would need to probably get a CMD at least to really firm up as a defensive unit.

I'd say, if you want to keep that formation, to go with a high press, attacking. Put up arrows on your AMR/L. Maybe a down arrow on some of the other defensive, and midfield areas, particularly central - so you aren't hit on counter attacks. Put on short, or long passing depending on how stacked their midfield is, and try that.

What I would say though, is for the close games: Look at the opponents formation, player strengths against yours. Play down the wing if he is weak or has no DR/L - down the middle if not. You can also think about switching up those attackers, so that you can help address that. You can move the AM into midfield and take advantage of the wingers, or move a winger into striker and another to fill out a 4-3-1-2 to go centrally.

I think AM wingers may need to be very high quality though, to be relied on. Mine work well, and score more than my striker/s by a mile.
