You are doing it wrong. I found a way to lose vs 32Q teams with OOP and bad tactics as 40+Q.
Defensive and easy tackling makes for more blocked shots. All about the hard defending with offside trap with 8 attacking players. Put some **** free agents whose morale doesn't matter OOP and boom instaloss. The hardest part is keeping the decent players that you aren;t trying to ruin from getting reds/injuries and causing their morale to crash.
