The problem is that because you've got red arrows on everything from the middle up, when your opponent counter attacks, your midfield won't be able to get back in time to help your defence, so in effect your midfielders are always too far up the pitch when the oppo has the ball.

I'm assuming you're conceding most from counter attack breaks?

I would leave the reds on and take of the blues. that is how I play with 3-1-4-2, all defenders have no arrows, but the rest except goalkeeper all have reds.

And I can see your problem straight away before you even show us... You're over using your arrows.

When I play 4-4-2, and I want to focus down the flanks, I only stick red arrows on my wingers, and leave everything else blank.

if you are going to put red arrows on your wingers, why not just play with AMR/AML? same difference...apparently

If you upgrade , you play against teams on your level.
If you downgrade, you play against teams on your level.

Can you elaborate on the easier draw part?
Also, do you want a smooth sailing season or do you want a challenge, against the best YOU can put on the field? If you best is not good enough to compete, then is it the quality of the players, not their skill quality, as there is a difference. If it's not the player quality, then is it tactics, formation etc? Either way, it comes down to the manager, does it not?

no, it all comes down to the game engine. manager just picks the team and the meaningless tactics and instructions.

This part I do not agree to.
You still have a good chance to decrease losses, same as you have to increase wins.
Maybe my expectation is too low as this stage.

My tips for you m8 is to have 22 players, keep your best 11 for the league and play your 2nd 11 for the cups, this way your giving a bit of rest time to players when you have 2 matches in one day!, only train after your last match of the day, if you have a late in the day match and an early one next day dont train that day!, have you got a tablet? if so log onto FB with that, if you find you android version is not upto date to play it then download photon browser and use that as it has a flash player that runs T11, there is usually 2 or 3 Token videos on there, on your PC go to T11 WEBSITE and watch the videos but you have to watch 7 for 1 T that way!, download TAPJOY for games videos and surveys for Ts, as for formations everybody has there favorite, mine is 3-1-4-2 set with mentality NORMAL, focused passing MIXED. pressing style OWN HALF,tackling NORMAL, passing MIXED, marking ZONAL., DONT TICK FORCE COUNTER ATTACKS, TICK PLAY OFFSIDES.

That's how I'd play it, but it's personal preference.

4-4-2 is quite versatile, the only time you'll have problems is if the oppo overloads his centre with AMC's or extra STs.

My personal formation is similar to yours, except instead of MR/ML, I play AMR/AML.

Usually, the only changes I make, to counter oppo formations, is to take an ST off and stick a DMC in, making it a 4-5-1V.

I'll keep saying it; it's the way this game is set up by pairing teams together. Sooner or later you're at a threshold where your current spending on the game is not enough, even though you have a strong team. Spend or farm early on and it'll rather be sooner then later. I got there on lvl 3 and even more so at lvl 4. If I want(ed) to win anything this season, or the League last season, I'ld have to buy a few scouts for 50T each. I don´t think so!!

I think most players get to that point where they either spend even more on the game (repeat next season), or tank a season. IME downgrading qualitywise works too as you'll get easier draws.
