    Need help on possession

    Hi everyone,

    Please find below the details of my team:

    Average quality: 88.8
    Average age: 23.7
    Formation: 4-3-3 (3 central midfielders)
    Have 4 scouts in the team (all 3 strikers are scouts)
    All the other players in the XI are 5 star players. A couple should become scouts any day.
    Team mentality: Normal
    Focus passing: Through the middle
    Pressing style: Whole pitch
    Tackling style: Hard
    Passing style: Short passing
    Marking style: Zonal marking
    No counter-attacks
    Using offside trap

    The problem is that even with such a strong and young team, I am in the 13th place in the league. What's more, my possession in any match is not going beyond 39%. Don't know why. Obviously, my strikers are not getting too many shots on goal.

    Made some changes today to my team mentality, focus passing, pressing style, passing style, counter-attacks. Have been able to beat the 5th placed team in today's match. The possession was still at 38%. It was a home match. I wasn't present.

    Please help me with how I can improve my possession and my performance.

    Thanks & regards,

    Abhimanyu

    How strong is your team compared with the other teams?
    And in which league level are you?

    I am in Stage 15. In terms of average quality, 3 teams are better than me.

    You are making a blunder mistake...

    Playing 4-3-3 and using short passing ???
    Go for long or mixed passing...
    I will suggest mixed...

    Everything else in fine......

    With 4-3-3 you can even use down bothflanks, I prefer mixed focus passing, and mixed passing style, closed down own half when playing that formation, when you play whole pitch closing down your team will become tired quicker.

    Every comment I make on this forum is based on my own experiences and so should be taken as such!.
