My defence is all over the place this season 8 goals conceded in 15 games that is half of the goals I conceded last season. In 32 games.
We won 5-1 and the opponent with 100% shot efficiency

One stupid goal in previous season :p

I had some bad experience with defensive, counters since my come back, including a very bad one in an association match - I got the black cat achievement for the first time after so many years of playing on and off. Maybe the game changed in this area just like the case of formations.
I would suggest you to stay in 3-4 formations based in AMs and start with some "neutral" orders.
Then try to read the game (highlights, live, stats, presence of oppo manager, some signs) and react.
The gameplay doesn't have the old logic. You can play with the "perfect" formation and orders and get a draw vs much weaker oppo and in the next game with not so good tactics to dominate vs a stronger.
Well... for example, in the Cup, I beat someone 3-0 at home. Logic says to go defensive away and play counter attack to put it game over, but instead, I was 4-0 down against a weaker side, and I had to make subs and go full attack. I still lost, match ended 4-3, but I went through on aggregate. This engine needs revision for sure.
In the association match, it was clear trashing, lost 5-0, black cat achievement, and I was playing defensive with 5 defenders. The opponent had a mutant at least though, but still... .
I am pretty much through to the cup Quarter Finals. We are 4-0 up from the first leg, expecting to lose 5-0 haha. If we get there, we will play a 7% weaker opponent and the same for the Semis and Finals. I am on for a three in a row in the cup and just 5 seasons ago I could not get by the round of 16.
We got lucky this time because my current opponent beat a really strong opponent that was about 15% stronger than me and about 30% stronger than him. I really got away with murder.
I have conceded 8 goals in 16 games which is pretty bad. At least 7 out of those 8 goals should not have been conceded as they were to **** abandoned teams with no manager attending.

You been doing something wrong or something not working among your players or maybe the game engine put your team on bad form. Way back I did went through a period where weaker teams would score more than expected against mine; partly I was not doing things according to a new change at that time, and on top, the engine was trolling me by making it harder than expected to beat certain teams or score more goals because it decided that another team deserved the title more (a team full of scouts and recommended players). In the end, the other team won the league by goal difference; my team came out second. I should have won that league that time, but I will not complain much as my team was a poor mans team and other was a team of an oil sheik, hahaha.
Max, you're pessimist but it works well with TE. I was eliminated in 32 round by 15% weaker team. I won the first game then the oppo bought some scout players and won me back 2nd leg. I always scare when opponents have new signed scout players. They performed well for several days.
I am hope I don’t jinx this but I have been pretty much favoured this seasons. I have avoided a really strong opponent in the cup and I have had one bad loss but nothing to grieve over. Still I am disappointed in my defence, I will look into it but I am not sure what is wrong. I think I am favoured in the cup because As I have said a million times, I am going for 3 in a row, I am not getting any luck in the other competitions

Also does high press really have an effect on your team’s performance apart from tiring them out,does it actually bring a positive impact to your team.

It does. When I started playing many years ago, I was playing simple, then Iearnt counter attacking 451V a bit from Nik, but later I upped the level and used intensive and aggressive styles, using formations like 343, 352, 3412, 361.... with high press. But those styles are condition consuming and if you have a small squad you will spend a lot of green packs to recover tired players.
Ok thanks

Briefly, for high pressing to be effective you need have a lot of players near the mid line or above. Pressing 2 (for you) versus 4 or 5 will probably mostly waste condition without any positive effect, but if you put 4 versus 3 or 5 versus 4, you press, they will give away a lot of possession or they will be forced to pass long.
There must be a lot of players in the opponents half to be able to make high pressing more effective. 2-3 players pressing against 4-5 opponents is less effective and will be probably a waste of condition, but it might still force opponents to make mistakes.
I have conceded 14 in 22, which is just 2 lower than I conceded in the entirety of last season, 47 matches and 16 conceded.
