We are forgetting that we are playing against other managers that are changing their tactics in game as well. Most managers have little tricks that they use to get goals in bunches whether it be switching to an all out hard attack blitz to overloading one side of the field.With the new layout, it's not as easy to recognize when your opponents shift formation unless you are watching for it.

The main issue is playing to your teams strengths. Don't play a possession bonus if you are counter attacking. Don't use attacking bonus with defensive formations, regardless of arrows. Don't play defensive bonus with high press if your attackers are terrible defenders. Don't use condition bonus with hard tackling as your players will foul more. Possession bonus puts your attackers at risk for more injuries as they are holding the ball more as well.
Yes, but what if there is actually something wrong that is causing those excessive goals being scored in a short time and the bad defender ratings. It is in our advantage to report it as it might cost us later on. Like you said, as long as you are winning, in some way it is ok, but this might turn up against you soon or later.

By the way, what you said concerning substitutions in the other thread, I have noticed that too. But, it does not happen every time. The possibility is there though.
