Team Conceding Too Many Goals

[Mitja fc]

Played same formation game this season...it was my first league match ...
I play 4-5-1v and opp had the same 4d-1mc-3amw-2s



But well result was different...i played him with low pressure easy tackling so I still had some reservs or maybe I changed to high at halftime forgot that detail...

I have 5% stronger team than this guy
Got equal opp teams in CHL and league...

We were both spectating the game...

Yes, and 4-5-1 V or 4-1-4-1 or even those through the middle with good cover at the back should be working, but not for my case. I met this team 3 times already, twice last season, one of which I won narrowly 2-1 at home with a 5-1-2-1-1 type of formation and lost 3-0 away with another approach, and this season, 1 away match 4-1 lost. Attacking, high pressing or defensive, force counter-attacks, and even the nonsense such as attacking and force counter-attacks - all fail as such. Another formation that I have been having trouble against - those like mid- way 4-4-2 or 4-2-2-2 hexagon, but as shown above I cannot even shut out teams using other formation or even inferior ones with whatever approach I have been using.

Something clearly is wrong.

You need hidden gems players...to get them buy players with higher transfer value even tho they might hide at normal value aswell
Example:
I think that my aml and amr are both hidden gems while my striker is normal player




None of them is taking penalties or free kicks...you can see their efficiency in stats...wingers scored way more goals per game compared to my striker whos job should be to score most goals...

This is just an example I have other players doing good job aswell in other positions and some players whom are just average

My problem is not offence, but defence, and even with what should be good defenders do not help much, as if, according to game engine, it a must for my team to concede a lot of goals. My goalkeeper has been active and saving a lot too but still a lot of goals conceded.

Dnt know how to help you there...I am playing attacking mentality with offside trap...I only conceded one goal so far this season and scored 27 and 4 of my 7 opp were equal
My deffenders have best value in tackling marking positioning and my deffence is the strongest part of my team if I check %stats of def/mid/att


I kinda know my forwards will strike alot so I boost deffence little more in preseason...

No worries. I thought of asking on the forum as I have returned to the game after about a year or more of absence and maybe there are new things that I am not aware about. I have been checking around and it seems the problem is with my team or with my account. I will try to fix things and do what I can and should be doing as a manager but if nothing help much then I quit after this season instead of 'banging my head against a wall'.

Concerning separate attributes or maybe even group of attributes, all maybe just visual and not matter much if not at all. This game is very deceiving.

The key thing to understand about playing defensive, is to realize that you are inviting pressure. A defensive manager that can't release the pressure will struggle getting the ball across the midfield line when they have possession. Hence, the opponent ends up forcing bad passes and winning tackles deep in your half of the pitch. If you don't have a means of releasing the pressure, the entire game will be played in your defensive third, so conceding several goals shouldn't be a surprise.

We need more infos , can you post your defenders attributes (the back 4 line )? match reports ( stats ) ? how do you play each match ( mentality , off side trap, tackling style, tipe of pressusre and ect.. ) ?

I got this message when the score was 2-1 in favor of the opposing team.





Yes, 'fair result' when opposing manager did not attend both matches.
