Can anyone explain this match for me?

[Shanghai Shenhua]

So glad I have stoped paying for this game last week

[Maor23]

yup sometimes this game gets really weird like that, happens to me more than usual for the last couple of seasons.

So glad I have stoped paying for this game last week

PSG
4-1-4-0-1
Hard attacking
Probably red arrows on the MCs, maybe blue arrows on the flanks.
Probably blue arrow on the DMC
Max win bonus
Players with superb morale and condition
Maybe counterattack or long passing, or both
Focus passing middle
Manager didn't watch match.

Newcastle
4-5-1V
Defensive or possibly hard defensive (with an attacking formation!)
Short passing?
Possibly hard tackling?
No or low win bonus OR poor morale or condition
Manager probably watched match.

PSG formation and tactics resulted in a lot of low chance, quick strike shots. Newcastle formation and tactics yielded very few shots. Can't tell you any more than that from the info provided.
But, I'm guessing you think you should have won because you have a scout team. All those stars and SAs should guarantee a win? LOL

Stars mean nothing. Those 3 and 4 star players could be 5 and 6 star quality in key skills. Even if they aren't, the skill difference between 6 stars (54) and 4 stars (44) isn't THAT great (about 20%)
So figure roughly a 25-30% total advantage (reflected in the possession advantage) countered by better tactics (3x more shots), makes it close to a tossup. So why would a draw be all that surprising? Even without a PSG tactical advantage, Newcastle at best would have what? 80-85% probability of winning?

he countered your formation

if it means nothing,why T11 ask us to pay 50 tokens for scout player,btw,I am not using scouts

the draw means nothing,I stop paying this game,win/draw/lose,whatever,but explain to me why he got 16:6 shot?and by which way I can improve my chance to shoot?

@shanghai shenhua There is no explanation, it's just the game engine who wanted to screw you up. Happened to me yesterday as well, with 9 scouts and 2 world class players but against a weaker team (2 and 3 stars), drew 2-2. This happens from time to time just to confirm the rule that nobody is invincible (I bet you win over 90% of the games). And i dont bother with tactics because with the same tactics i won 7 leagues in 8 seasons, and 5 CL in 7 tries. It's just the game engine even though there are some people here who actually believe they are in control of the game when the game controls us.

This isnt that much of an upset, no offence but your teams not that much better than his and you cant see how he countered you? Did you play with attacking mentality? looks very much how razz has seen it.

Personally i think its daft to waste time, money or both on a game that you feel you have no bearing over? Before anyone one starts, you have every right to play the game for what ever reason, just seems illogical!

I love how this game is all about countering.

People pay to play a football adaptation of a paper/scissors/stone game ;-).

4-1-4-1 is almost the same as 4-5-1 V except you have two advanced midfielders. His formation is more defensive and pretty-well much counters your formation.
