Why am i losing so much all of the sudden?

[Ted Theodore Logan]

my original plan when i started playing was to have 2 MCs instead of a ML and MR and an AML and AMR with 1 striker instead of 3 strikers, but i wasn't sure if it would work the way i wanted to, and since i had been doing so good with the formation i am using i never really tried the latter formation.
i wish there were more freedom as to where you could position your players rather than having those set box spots the game has...
