Try switching formation, and rotating your players once in a while. Sometimes your lower-level players will perform better in a match than your higher-level players. I alternated 3 different formations last season 3-5-2, 4-2-2-2, and 4-3-1-2.
My main formation is a modified 3-5-2:
-------ST----ST-------
AML------AMC------AMR
-------MC----MC-------
----DC----DC----DC----
-----------GK----------
Good luck!
