Default tactics = WIN

[DrGonzo]

Hi all,

I wanted to share this thing I've noticed during this second season I've been playing.

I started the season with quite a good team, the best in fact of my league when it comes to quality (now I have an average of 19.4, and the second best of my league is 16.9). Despite this, my start of the season was miserable... I started losing against teams which were weaker than mine. A lot... at some point I was in 5th position in the League.

I tried everything, changing my formation, setting new orders agains each team... everything. And nothing changed, I kept on losing, or winning with a big effort against teams that I should be wiping out. I attend every match, and nothing changed.

I couldn't understand it, but as I was reading here in the forum many people complaining over the same thing, I just accepted it.

So a week ago I got sick of it, and decided to change the orders of my team to "default" ones, and keeping the formation where I could use all the best players of my team (4-1-3-1-1):



- Mentality: Normal
- Pass: Mixed
- Pressing: Own field
- Tackles: Normal
- Pass: Mixed
- Defense: Zonal
- No counter - no offside

And suddenly... I started winning again! And not only winning, but massacring. Since then, I've had no problem against any team, on League, CL and Cup. Yesterday I even won in the Cup against a team with more quality than mine. And in the League I'm already back in track, in 2dn position just 2 points behind first. A week ago I had a gap of 11 points.

I feel that changing the orders from the team to more suitable ones for the formation I was using worked against the team. Dunno why, but as soon as I set them as "default" the team started playing great again.

Of course I've also thought that this could be because I'm only level 2... but still wanted to share this with you, to see what you think about it.
