Of course the other guy wins the game because unlike me, he manages to get 1-on-1 with the keeper more than once (my team did it exactly ZERO times in the entire games).

At least my team shouldn't hit the target only 3 times when facing his inferior team?

ID:	3143 PS! my team is on the right, and the formation seen in the pic is not the one i played the first 80 minutes with.
the last week this has happened to me a lot of times. i have a scout team and i have lost 3 times in the league against deserted 3-4 star teams. i have won the cup and the cl against far inferior teams and i was in both games lucky cause they had much better shoots on/off target. nothing has worked properly for me. i don't know what formations to choose for next season. the counter formations failed me. i tried playing the same formations as my opponents but nothing.
