So i'm a noob (first season) and I have much to learn. I think my mistake was I played some players out of position. I used this squad



against this squad (in a cup game, 2nd leg @ home) and lost 3-5.



Possession was 75-25 in my favor (I'm assuming because he did not have a GK playing the role of GK). He also had an injury in his MF and did not sub out. Ah well, back to the drawing board. Next time i think i'll use a 4-4-2 against that formation. No matter, now I don't need to worry about resting for cup games and can concentrate on finishing strong in league play.
