Tell me again how your formation counters his? We all know (due to the game engine) that wingers are key in this game.
He has 2 sets of wingers and you have 1.
Also (Considering you are the stronger team) why do you feel you need to play 5 defensive players against his 3 attackers?
You have wasted 2 players in positions not needed, who could have been more effective causing trouble on the wings.
I know your opponent is an abandoned team with probably no bonuses or training, but i firmly believe you shot yourself in the foot playing that formation :)
