Regarding defeat..

[nikolgiorgos]

I 'm not an expert in formations but I can tell few things from my experience.
I 'm using defenders with double position. DL-DC, DR-DC, DMC-DC.
With that way, if I see that my oppo using wingers I set my DL, DR in the wings with blue arrows.
Also MR and ML of my oppo with red arrows and set flanks, acting like wingers.
If my oppo has two STs, I put my DMC/DC in DC pos. to help my other DC.
I 'm starting with def.mentality and counters and waiting (30 min) to see the shots. If I have more ball possession and shots, it's a matter of time when I 'll score. If my oppo has no DMC (or DML-R) I 'm using long passes.
I have a good team but I don't care much about high scores (well a 5-0 with an extra booster is welcome of course ).
If not, then I 'm changing the formation to attack + whole pitch, maybe offside if my defenders are better (in M&P skills) from oppo STs, no counters.
The last seasons my wingers are very good so I prefer to play with them. If someone is in good form while the other isn't, I set right or left flank.
I also believe that red arrows on STs is too much (but I 'm not sure about it).
There are some trolling games like yours with an injury. In many of them, whatever I do, seems hopeless.
Many members of the forum believe that tactics or watching the match doesn't make a difference. I 'm not agree with that, especially if there are teams with close quality.
If I had a team with 7*-8* players, I would set up my team with a 4-4-2 or a 4-5-1V and I would log in the end of the season just to take my cup.
