So I've been having trouble beating easier teams, even using formations to stop their attacking threats i.e. Dr/DL to stop AML/AMR and DMC to stop AMC, yet they still seem to score and give me a hard time. I even lost a cup game against a team that was 10+ quality lower. 3N 2-1(AMC)-2 I played 4-5-1V and lost 3-0.

It it just luck does the game sometimes just through random results out there? or should i have used different tactic than normal, counter on? i.e. Whole pitch pressing, hard tackling?
