Keep Losing to Bad Teams - Any Ideas?

[RJSlow]

Sometimes you will be put in a league where people will have faced your formation previously and know the counter already. Also you could just be going through a rough patch at the moment. I would say try to ride it out for a few more games to see if anything changes. Also schedule some friendlies against good and bad teams, play with some completely different orders to see how that goes

Don't even attempt to 'counter formation' if the opponent is weaker than you, go 'hard attacking' 'hard pressing' and 'hard tackling', play 3-4-3 or 3-4-1-2 and let him worry about your formation, not the other way round!!

The counter, if there even is such a thing, is only for when you are wary of the opponent and wanting to avoid defeat.

I'm roughly the same as you, average 70.3, and If I played someone average 53 I'd be expecting to win by at least 5 or 6 goals.
