help

[reddeviljohn]

if they are ML-AML & MR-AMR try to use them as wingers
or
use them with red arrows, use only one ST and set another MC (4-2-2-1-1)
and see if they can help in scoring.

they are only ml/Mr so I could put arrows on

I just ran it and still oppo just tackles and blocks all the time. We only had .3 shots on target to their 9?

Ok, let's talk about a scenario.
You 're active and judging from the titles, you must a have a good team with 5* and some 6* players at least.
Opponent has a weaker team, so possibly sets to defense and maybe counters.
When i see your orders

I using play 4-3w-1-2 as I best player is AMC and I have ml and Mr orders are mixed, short passing, high press, zonal, counter attack off

I can imagine that most of the time, the ball is in opponents area, you playing high, his players are gathered in his area which is over crowded.
Then, the goal can come from some actions like :
F-K or Corners (but suppose you didn't find any special kickers)
From some actions like "long shot" , "gives assist" , "dribbling- past one, then another, blah blah"
but this needs to have talented players or being in a good form (but maybe you don't have now)
and of course from oppo players mistakes.

Why don't you try another scenario :
play defense, maybe this way you can "drug" oppo players to your area,
set counters, so when you cut the ball and run to oppo defense area, his players could be less than yours
set long pass, so run quickly to oppo area (but not if he has DMC-L-R, then set mix)
and set red arrows to ML,MR,AMC,MC (but not to DL & DR, we don't want them to counter, because they miss a lot of goals).

I believe with this way, you 'll have more shots and with better chances to avoid tackles.
* try it in 2-3 games. one game isn't enough to have conclusions.

My suggestion: If you absolutely want to use short passing, put red arrows on your wingbacks.

Short passing is more easily defended by tackling, if you don't like this you should try to cross (using long pass) instead.
When you have 2 players on each side, you'd better go with long passing.

I have just run it and it looked better, u are right we do lose goals to corners and fk but I cannot find sa defenders although I have a fk taker sa yes I normally have a 5*\6* team and was successful until recently for some reason I just put it down to these changes in the game

I used to play mixed but the assistant keeps telling me to use short

To get short passing work you need to have strong presence at the midfield, that's why you put red arrows on your defenders (or blue arrows on forward and attack wing) to support them unless you already have 6 midfielders.
