Defenders with low forms

I have three 6-starred defenders who can play all 3 defense positions with aerial defense and defensive wall SA. All their highlighted skills are above 100%. Yet these three rarely rated above 6.5 in most matches. I win these games but conceded at least one goal per match even if I mostly play def counter. Any tips to improve them? Thanks.

i think my best player on the field did not get notice at all.
L Mcqueen - hat trick
D Maradona -1 goal 2 assist

The motm goes to someone with 1 assist so how do you explain.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1f1bbf2e03.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...479542a37c.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7be81cf7ef.jpg

Do they do their job or do you conceding a lot of goals? Are thay playing alone or do you have the 4th defender? Do you have DMC? What is their Fitness, Strength and Aggression?

Look, DC and DL/DR are very different positions, so it is a good idea to train them differently even if they can sometimes play as 3 DC.
DC and DMC are almost the same though, so it's good to have both these positions on the DMC.
If your defenders are outnumbered, they won't get good rating just because they're trying to do a very difficult task. You need to have DMC in your team, it is a very strong position. In TE2018 it is better to play 3-1dmc-* than 4-* IMHO, unless your opponent has a flanking formation and defending MC(s).
There are many other factors that may affect their performance, like hidden quality (if it exists lol).

My main formation is 451V. Fitness, Strength and Aggression are well above 100%. I concede at least one goal per match even I play 451V def counter. Lucky my attackers score at least two a match.

I’ll be happy if my defenders get at least 7 LOL. Right now if I can get them a 6.5 is quite an achievement for me.

So three your defenders have low ratings, one is OK, and DMC is fine too? You are not giving the full info.

I'am doing fine this season with 2-DC, DL/R, DMC, my DCs are just medium players but the DMC is a monster and take care of the "holes" in the defense. I see many changes in the gameplay when I take off the DMC to put other player. We have conceded only 11 goals in the season till now

Maybe the DMC have a important role in the TE18.

A match that I won 3-0
ML is my DMC before rearranging.
Only one DC (6.7) and DMC (6.8) have the ratings above 6.5. The rest of the defenders are not rated good.

You still haven't answered my questions, it seems you don't really need help. I'm out of here.

Sorry man. I was having a hard time uploading some pics. As you can see in these pictures, only two defenders (DC and DMC) out of five had a rating above 6.5. Even then they are just barely above 6.5. (6.7 and 6.8). ML is my DMC before rearranging. I won the match 3-0.

seems your DC/DL/DR more suite to play fullback position, not center back position.

because he got higher speed/crossing than the strength/agression/positioning

try put him at full back and see how he goes

Yup. That’s my DR. Another one with def wall SA in my post is my DL.

Dont worry about it. Ratings cosmetic. As long as you are winning. Game biased to scorers. So only real way 2 improve defender ratings is to add say fk special ability lol

yeah, rates are fixed for each position.
If you 're winning it's ok.

Try to give him a rest for a couple of matches to relax on the bench and give a chance to his substitute to start the game ; you will see the change ;)

Yeah, right. Also don't forget to sing him a song and promise a raise. And a prayer will be just as good.

Do you ever sub out a defender ingame because of poor ratings?

All my replacements are only 4-5 starred. I’m worried they might not perform as good as the 6 starred. :(
