And Yet Another Fracking Crazy Lost...

[kebess]

well, all I can comment is that it's all about the formation and tactics we use if not the 'bull****' engine. for instance, why would you put in a 352 with attacking wingers when you are up against a team that is so much stronger in depth than your team? come on, 3 defenders and no DM to protect your backline? that's suicide I can say.

Stop talking nonsense. I've been playing with 3 Defenders most of the time, and I've been doing rather well till now. I rarely use a DM, because they're in my experience not very useful in most cases -- DC and MC usually have that zone covered.

And how on earth was his team "so much stronger" than mine in depth ? Are you for real ?

Taking this loss, i do think it's safe to assume that the main mistake was the lack of a DMC. Both teams had spaces on the sides (3n defense) but while the winner had connections between the 3 lines (dmc+amc) the loser was missing but a vital link. Would of have him played long passing, prolly it would have ended very differently. But the extra dmc on the other side granted a better ball circulation into the wingers which left alone produced a goal.

EDIT

Really ? You gonna blame my loss on not having a DMC ?? If this was the case then I should have lost 90% of my matches, mate. I've only lost about 3 matches in 2 seasons. This is less than 5% loss. And only 1 draw. The rest are wins. So either, I'm the luckiest guy, or you're talking BS).

I played mixed passes, thus short and long. No DMC means, defenders would prefer longer passes, and attackers shorter ones since there were so much more of them. Surely this should have and would have produced a goal, if "logic" was in the equation...
