Always lose versus offline player with low average quality

[avirazer]

Why this always happen,when I go versus offline player and my team have a better quality (15:12) and still lose, I buy token to buy better player quality but its just a waste dunno what must I say but I'm really sad, sorry 4 my bad english Im just new player on level 1,they say "Its just a game" and I say "yes Its just a game with human player"

Can you post some screenshots from those matches? I'd especially like the formations tab and the match stats, maybe we can tell you the reason from there.

This is macth from 1/5 saturday,if I change formation its mean I must buy new player and I dont have much money and token,

he countered your tactic. did you make adjustments to counter his during the game?

also narrow diamond in this game is a recipe to lose because of engine limitations

[avirazer]

I use defend order because my oponent have a better standing (2nd position) and use conter attack order without offside trap,now I try to use 4-3-3 because my stock player limit,btw thanks to give me information about diamond

What happened to all your tokens?

I'd like to see your team's tactics, and the statistics from the match, but for a start, your arrows are very extreme. Generally, I would not put blue arrows on your defenders and goalkeeper, nor red arrows on your striker. My opinion of arrows is that they move players either forwards or backwards to support either the defence or attack, so you don't want your defence further back than they already are, nor your strikers further forward. Also, I would advise you to have a flexible enough squad to change your formation to counter your opponent in every match, you can slowly build your squad into that since you're short of tokens at the moment.



Above are 6 images, my squad for this season and some results that I'm very happy with from this season. At times, I still find my squad a bit thin, but you can see I generally play variations of 3-6-1.

dont use 3 strikers especially with your team. you are just gonna get scored on again and again. also you dont simply go defensive for the reason that his players are better. if you find a weakness in his tactics, you can go on offensive and surprise him in final third

you gotta adjust things on the fly when watching the game

also remember that blue arrows mean doesnt go forward often, while red means runs forward more often, so you have a formation with absolutely zero width. i suggest you visit zonalmarking.net for a good reading, and play football manager 2012 (which is really cheap on steam)

I've already said that no blue for defenders and GK, and no red for strikers. I would put red for the area you are going to attack, through the middle then put red on your AMC, MC, down the flanks, then put red on your most attacking player on that flank, and if the opponent is equal or weaker, on the other player on that flank as well. If you have 3 players on the flank, then your formation will be illegal, you will only have 20% possession.

Once you've done that, you're free to put blue arrows if you feel they are needed, on the MC row and the DM row. If you are not sure, I would play safe and start with blue arrows on all those players, then slowly remove them later in the game if your defence is doing well and you need more power in attack.
