End of the 1st Week of the season, and Desert Rats FC are having mixed results. Second in the League, Second in their Champions League Group, and dumped out of the Cup even earlier than last season...

Today they had to grind out the results, the first to a slightly higher Quality and +1 Level Champions League opponent; in the League the 11th placed -29%Q opponent gave them a good run for their money.

Nouvion FC have started the season on a flyer, and have a 100% record at the end of the 1st Week.

Today they had a League match against one of their top of the table rivals, and the match went to plan except for the straight red card issued to midfielder Chris Wright. The evening Champions League match was all one-way traffic.

Red and yellow cards are getting more frequent even though tactics are on the normal and easy side.

Counter attacks do not always result in a goal
The new "wave" - a back pass from midfield to gk
GK kicked the ball towards centre of the field. The player then pass (long) to a winger
Winger shoot - and it's a goal!
One touch football 😁😂

I don't know about your matches, but in match view I can never see any sort of counter-attacking being done when I have Counter-Attack set to on. Turn it off, and the first attack I see is a classic block shot and counter-attack...

Another recent trend I've seen is the number of yellow (and red) cards and injuries that are given to my MCs and it's not particular players, either. One player is targetted in a match and I have to sub him when he gets his first yellow, as later on, his sub gets one too, indicating that that might have been the original players second yellow... Next match, the other MC is targetted similarly, or both MCs are booked in the first 20 minutes. I have a couple of times had the situation where both first choice MCs are out - one injured, the other suspended - only for the Assistant Manager to 'conveniently' offer a nice juicy MC to buy - and when bought he is either booked or injured in his first match...

I am facing similar card problems this season. All seem to be playing central roles like you guys mentioned.
I am sure i will miss them at a later stage at some important knockout game.

is there any secret formation that is best for each seascon that changes every season?
because when i see some team with low % but 1st at table I try to copy their formation

Nope.
No secret formation and you can win with almost any kind of formation as long as your players are good.
