Try the bonuses — when in lead by 2/3 goals, use possession bonus. The opponent will have no chances to score if you give them the ball. This is contrary to the belief that you sit back and defend, since it's more dangerous giving your opponent the ball. See yesterday's Arsenal FC vs Leicester City (despite the fact that Leicester were a man down). But try to use attacking bonus in the early moments, since attack is the best defence, also when you're 1-up. With 5 defenders formation, try CA and condition bonus, you've to beat them with speed to script a successful counterattack. With 4-5-1V and other similar DMC based formation, give the possession bonus, since it's not supposed to be a high-scoring match. In these kind of formations, you've to be patient.
(I know you know all this just wanna help your team to get back in track. Don't forger monetary bonuses too.)
Thankyou

I've not seen any difference. I did experiement with the 2-0 lead and selected defensive bonus by logic as I thought surely I can't throw away a 2-0 lead with 15% bonus but I was still playing attacking. I always start with attacking to try and encourage early goals but it don't always work. I've seen 10 shots on goal and only 1 on target so I'm lost when it comes to bonuses.

Next match I'll start with attacking, get a goal or 2 and use possession and then conditioning late on.

The 2nd corner I conceded came after my defender got a yellow card. Not sure how I got a booking while conceding a corner.
