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.
