Level 18 non formation

So ive reached level 18 been promoted every season bar 1.
Just played a game using 4141 formation with attacking mentality wide focused passing man on man team pressing all over the pitch.
Against a 3 narrow 2 narrow 2 narrow 1 2 fromation yes you read right 32212 no wide players with every attacking player marked by one of my defensive players. I lost 3-1 despite going ahead first and having more poss more shots ect, thats nothing compaired to tge draw against a team fielding two goalkeepers!
I am an avid football fan and football manager gMes i know there is something not right here.
Anyone else exp similar travisties?
