How is this even possible??

So I'm played this league game tonight. My starting IX avg was 31 stars. My opponent's avg for his starting lineup was ~28,2 stars.
I used 3N-1-4-2 while he used a 4-1-4-1. I was at home.

The result? 0-3 after 28 minutes! He ended up winning 0-4 after winning the possession with 51-49%. He managed 15 shots while I got only 10. None of his goals came from freekicks/counterattacks/corners/longshots. For some reason all of my players except one CB got 7 in rating. How can they get that when they scored 0 goals and conceded 4 at home?

Don't get me wrong. I accept a loss even though my team is stronger, coz that's football. But I just cannot fathom how he can take the lead with 0-3 within the first half-hour despite both of us having 4 players in the midfield and me having 3 CB to stop his lone attacker.
Losing is one thing, but getting crushed like that is just surreal and shouldn't happen considering the tactics of both teams, and me having better players than him.

The game-engine changes that Nordeus have recently implemented are really destroying the game.

HMmmmmm, I sense a post by a mod saying to move it to the vent thread.

DAMMIt, so close to the winning lottery numbers and get stuck with these vent thread premonitions....

hullabaloo yes, that's top 11 game engine, it does this everyday

If you had a starting IX (nine) you'd be two players short - that won't have helped! ;-)

More seriously, he might have been playing with attacking wide players, pressing on into the gaps behind your wide midfield players and even have fullbacks supporting them. IRL, three centre backs often struggle with 1 striker because with all of them in the centre and only one player to mark there is space elsewhere on the field

What rating did your keeper get? I played a game the other day with a keeper on very poor morale (stupid oversight) and lost 3-1 despite having about 10% more possession and twice as many shots as the other team

It's top 11, you should start trying to play with it because this kind of matches, you'll have a lot in your T11 manager carrer :p

I had such a result with my no-token team try I started on a new server, too. Maybe you did not buy enough tokens to please the T11 engine. ;)

Just kidding, these things nerve, but we all have to live with it (at least to the next major update).

You're both quite equal, but this formation was slightly more effective/productive since the 4-1-4-1 transforms into a 5-4-1 when defending and into a 4-5-1 when attacking. It could be used as a 4-3-3 if red arrow is applied on the two MC´s or ML/MR. I used this formation last season and ended up as the league winner :p ... Think he exploited your flanks, since you played with 3 DC.

I wasn't targeting you specifically, mate :D. Just said that you all should use the "Vent" thread, as everybody else :p

Lately game engine is changing, and counters works not anymore. A friend just lost 0-3 home using 3-1-4-2 vs 4-1-2-1-2 when it should be ND counterformation.

No, this isnt a vent. I think it is a bug in the game and he should move it to the bug thread. FC Barcelona only winning 4-1 and actually allowing a goal???? wow, definitely a bug in the game engine.:rolleyes:

I dont think 3-1-4-2 is the counter for ND anyways, hence the loss.

I think 4-3-2-1 or butterfly are the counters for it and even 3-4-3 is a counter. So there is the reason for the loss vs ND.

you guys really dont read the posts, do you hehe.
I didnt complain about losing. i am just really surprised at how his weaker team has more possession than me, outshoots me and crushes me goal-wise with a tactic that usually doesnt render my tactic useless. On top of it all, all my players except 1 I think, got a 7 in rating despite being crushed.

I see that some of you are saying that his midfield-wingers attacker the area behind my midfield...but shouldn't my midfielders track back on hiw midfield-wingers, just like his did mine when i attacked?

he got a 7 :S

Have you spent cash? then you are screwed, you ll loose whatever you do and your players will get injured for 6 weeks for just having a ****ing flu

i havent spent any tokens since i dont think it is worth it. A game has to work much better than Top Eleven does for me to spend cash on it.

and yeah, i hate the injuries. I do normal training and people miss 6 days for the stupidest reasons. Eg, one guy tore his ACL when stretching.
