the unrealistic game engine is getting really annoying now

[hullabaloo]

look at your players' stat. you will find your problem

my players' stats are pretty good. One of them is on scout level, and my worst players has better stats than the opponent's best player

WHat were team's orders on these 2 matches? Both on the 3-5-2 , the V after and the 4-5-1 V on the second time.

3-5-2 = Normal, mixed passing down both flanks with zonal marking and pressure in own half.
3-5-2 V = Attacking, mixed passing down both flanks with zonal marking and pressure all over the pitch.

All this to say: 1) try to use the better counter formation, and 2) not all counter formations work all the time....but some are better than others all the time.

thanks mate! my main point isnt really abt the counters though, but that a much worse team shouldn't be able to absolutely dominated the shot statistics without using a good counter-formation against a much better team - while being dominated in possession

Yes because they needed all the 3 points

when was this game? and were the other conditions i mentioned met as well?
