Unable to score more goals as compaired to other teams in the league

Well my formation is as follows


st-----------st
------amc------
mc-----------mc
dml----------------dmr
--dc---dc---dc--
--------gk--------

well my problem is my team always fail to score more goals in matches. On average my team scores 2-3 goals per match. I have tried playing attacking as well but in that case i always end up either loosing or making a draw in a match.

My current league stats are

mp -18 w-11 d-5 l-2

my most draws are against weaker teams,where i had expected to win each and every match easily

all i want to know is how to make my team score more goals so that i can avoid any draws in the near future and win easily ???

Well i do not wish to change my formation....... Just need guidance of scoring more goals and winning the matches with big margin

My team was doing relatively well in the league and while I was barely conceding goals, I wasn't scoring many either. Even after winning all my first 5 games and being joint top on points, I had the same or worse goal difference as every other team in the top 7. I didn't change my formation or any tactics, but decided increase my match bonus and see what happens. The next match got my biggest win so far and since them I've become the highest scoring team in the league by far.

Purchase Ronaldo. I think Madrid will part with him for $100M or so.

IMHO, ditch the DML/DMR and choose another MC for the middle with a DMC, OR just 2 more MCs in the middle.

3-1-3W-1-2. A very good formation. or 3-4-1-2. both very good offensive formations.

So what I am saying is to score more goals, put more offensive players in your formation.

maybe try another more offensive formation to score more goals

day counting seems to continue even your contrat end, i think

Well if i put up more offensive players up front then my defence would become weak and then any one could beat my easily...

moreover whenever i have tried playing attacking with this formation i have always ended up loosing that match....

do let me know if arrows could do wonders for me............ currently i dont use any arrows for any player

well that is a very good suggestion thanks for that and i would prefer to use it for champions league final,moreover i am not at all worried about cup matches because i am on the verge of winning the cup for the second time as i have already won the cup in the last season as well with the same formation..........

IT IS ONLY IN THE LEAGUE MATCHES MY TEAM PERFORMS POORLY AS I END UP A DRAW MOSTLY WITH THE WEAK TEAMS WHERE I SHOULD BE WINNING IT EASILY.....

I HAVE BEATEN STRONGER TEAMS IN THE LEAGUE AND DRAWN WITH WEAK TEAMS

MP-18 W-11 D-5 L-2 GF-51 GA-17 GD-34

Like I said, change the DML to a DMC and the DMR to a MC right in the middle.

3N-1-3W-1-2 is a very good formation.

you cannot protect yourself from EVERY formation. this formation is a good mix of defense and offense.

On top of the win bonus I make sure my player condition is high (usually at least or around 90%) and morale is superb. In terms of quality, I am the best team in my league anyway. Was the friendly team stronger than you or did it catch you at low energy / morale? Anyway, it's a friendly and they should never be taken seriously. See how it goes with actual competitive games.

Well players condition as well as moral was superb.... no not much stronger i guess were are equals and above all i have won matches against him in the league matches........ its is just i wanted to see how much difference does the win bonus makes to my team performance,as i am planning to use this method in a cup match because i have lost the first leg match by 1-3 so just wanna win the next leg to stay alive

team mentality - hard def
focus - mixed
pressing - whole pitch
tackling - hard
passing - mixed

and i am up against

-----amc----
ml--mc--mc--mr
------dmc-----
dl-----dc----dr

Hard defending says it all then. The more attacking you are, the more your team will attempt to create chances or try 'riskier' shots. Try upping the team mentality to normal or attacking. When you play hard defending, your players are going to be less likely to shoot, which is why you aren't scoring as much.

well why dont you suggest me with my formation ??? like in arrows or some other suggestion because i do not use arrows at all........ i wish arrows could do something for me

ok..football basics.

you have 5 guys on defense with 2 MCs on top of them. Basically, you have 8 guys defending whenever opponent has the ball.
You would be able to counter anyone who attacks you, but who in the right mind would go full offense against you if they are weaker (which you have problem against?).

You can't have 8 guys on your half hard defending and expect to score as much as other players. IF you want to keep your formation, start with it, but go offensive whenever you are the stronger side and you think the game may draw.

CHANGE YOUR TACTIC IN GAME AS YOU SEE FIT.

Possession would be a good indicator to know how much stronger you are and how passive your opponent is playing. If you have about 50/50 possession (or even 45/55 in your ultra defensive case) while you being on the stronger side, it would be a good indication that opponents are playing defensive as well. You should change to possession football to take advantage of that. Start moving/subbing and put more into midfields, short passes, challange on the whole field, and exploit whichever side with the least players/stars.

On the other hand, if your opponent is having a great day with possessing the ball even if you are the stronger side, just stick to counter and you should be fine.

Personally, I wouldn't have ultra defensive formation as my start strat knowing how destructive FK and corners are on this game.

edit : Take the Pressing : Whole pitch off.

The whole point of defensive-counter football is to let them come to you, then to drop the ball behind them in the empty space. Challenging in their own pitch doesn't make sense because most of your players are already back on your side defending due to your ultra defensive mode, forcing your 2~3 attackers to go against their whole team. You want to draw them into your field as much as possible.

This is also the reason why you have to go offensive vs weaker teams. Having 7~8 guys each sitting on their own half results in nothing. There will be some lucky goals here and there, or some FKs, but it's more on pure chances and you are turning the game into a coinflip. Ofc, if you are ahead in goals, you can always go back to ultra defensive and let them come to you.

My F2P team plays this formation, with red arrows on the AMC and the DMR/L, normal mentality, own half pressing, mixed passing, normal tackling. You can switch between flank and central attacks depending on the opposition formation, e.g. If they have DMC, go wide

You can play defensive against better teams and force counters, but everyone here has told you the right thing - you must be more attacking against weaker teams if you want to score more goals

Use some common sense

Same with the pressing. It should be obvious that ultra defensive and full pitch pressing are opposing tactics (they mean 'players sit deep behind the ball, encouraging the opposition to come forward' and 'put early pressure on the opposition to win the ball back and attack quickly' respectively)

You could try full pitch pressing with attacking mentality, and own half with defensive. I just press in my own half because players don't tire as quickly

And please, read the guides - there is plenty of help available to you there from experienced players

In my opinion increase the win bonus.
In my first cup game i lost with 2-0 but then i increased the win bonus to max and what i saw i scored four goals. U should try this
