his formation :- 2-3w-1-2w-1 , I played with 4-1-2-1-2, His DMR got a red card on the FIRST minute, and my 5* AMC scored on the 15th minute, I'm leading and enjoying a lot of possession, he was not spectating, and there was no CROWD (0 attendance), then his team scores at 32' and 36', I'm baffled, I change my tactics at aroung the 60' and change to attacking, his team play even better, no mention of my forwards in the commentary AT ALL !! Then at 81' and 87' they score two more and I lose 4-1 away to a 10 man managerless team, I cannot believe it, almost threw my Phone away !!!
Then in the evening I played against a muuuch higher quality team, but this time at home, she played with 4-1-2N-3 and I didn't bother to change anything thinking I'd lose anyway. But somehow each of my strikers score at 32' and 44' and I win with a comfortable 2-0 scoreline,
she was spectating the match and made changes to her formation midway as well, they created chances (more than us) but could never capitalize, hitting the bar once.
So is there a pattern here ? Or did I just get my formation wrong ??? Is this kind of a new change in the game ? The first match was in the league and the second was in CL.
I had more (much) possession in the away match and lost disastrously.
I had same possession as my opponent in my home match and won comfortably.
So what does this say about the possession bonus theory ???
