Is the Tactical Part of Top Eleven 2019 Broken?

[Tactician]

This is meant to be a feedback collection post and not a concluding one. It is almost a month since my comeback to the game, and I am having doubts on the functioning of certain parts of this game.

According to Top Eleven 2019, arrows define the individual mentality of players. So, it is expected that if a user puts a green arrow on say an excess man, when attacking, that is when the team is in possession, he will move up more and contribute forward or provide support to attack instead of sitting deep and contribute to nothing much. But, this does not seem to work; he just sat in his defensive zone and watched the front players attacking.

Another thing is that many times this season I felt like I am not at all in connection with my team during the match apart from making substitions. Basically, the engine does what it wants instead of simulating what the manager instructed. For example, I see an area open to attack, I give order to attack that area, highlights give the opposite or something else. I see a menance, for example on a left flank, and I put a defensive arrow on a player that is supposed to come back to defend that zone, but instead he stays up while the opponent players double team on that flank and cause havoc.

Another 'funny' thing is that I have beaten a noticeable weaker team 3-0, and I put my team to play defensive with counter-attacks in the away leg but my team went down 4-0 before I turned it around to 4-3. How can this even happen? Does the engine even considers the situation and the football sense?

Sometimes I have been like clueless what to do because many things do not seem to work as expected, and some things do not seem to work at all - like a blank button with a false label.
