    Tough season so far. Unexpected losses, tight wins in matches I expected to dominate. My star player of last season is nowhere to be seen. I'm not sure what to do except tweak my formation here and there and hope I'll somehow hit the right button.

    I'll just try to hang in there and hope at some point things will turn around.

    4-5-1 V. Defensive, flanks, low pressing, normal tackling, mixed passing, zonal, counter on. It's what I used last season and worked great for me.

    One thing I noted this season is that passing is pretty low, close to 80%. So I might change it to short and see what happens. Also thinking of playing normal instead of defensive to see how that works.

    Oh dear, you're going through what I did.

    Don't play anything but defensive, normal only when you have to. Always play high pressing. Short passing is ok but if they play 3 in their middle then switch to mixed. Man to man works perfect as its a defensive formation but combined with whole press it'll drain condition so don't use if you playing 2 games a day.

    Problem with 4-5-1v is it's now a strict counter formation so you won't get a lot of chances, used right you'll minimise chances against you.

    Last season I lost the title with it by a point. This season I switched to 4-1-2-1-2 and its solved all my problems.
