Having better players bound to have better ratings, and that would not reflect proportionately on how the actual game panned out.

And to concede 4 goals in a competitive match is something unimaginable (and something I never experienced in close to 250 competitive matches) if you have the right man to close the space down at the right place. The high shot efficiency of opponents’ occasionally is the indication of a troll result, but you must have got some of the setup very, very wrong to let your opposition shooting 20 times if your side is supposedly the favourites with ‘only’ 25 shots. Tough luck if he shoots 10 times, 6 on target and 4 goals, but what we could do is minimise the shots against us to overcome the troll.

1 obvious flaw is that you played with short or mixed passing, as indicated by the very high 89% passing success rate (apologies if you did play long and still achieved 89%). Your team was not taking enough risk for more chances, while your opponent did a at least play mixed or long ball to create and score. In these high-scoring games, it’s all about creating and taking as many chances as possible if GKs were taking naps, so always long passing for more chances.

For you to also score 4 as well probably means both sides are set up to be ultra-attacking as there are a total of 45 shots. If I were right about the setup of these teams (prove me wrong there if you have the images, though I doubt it), then you were practically playing fire with ‘Russian roulettes’ by trying to outscore your opponent without any proper defending.

If you were losing by some 3 or 4 goals then have a comeback, then you indeed did very, very well; if not, then in-game you should have switched to playing defensive, counter and long ball. The chance is you would concede less and win by taking chances via counter.

My stat. Matches played: 249; Scored: 1369; Conceded: 75. The scored stat is icing on the cake with some high 7 or 8* attackers, but goals conceded shows how good a team is set up to ensure a tight game could be fought when we are having a very bad dice.
You have 240 wins and lost 2, and yes I conceded an average of 0.53 goals per game in over 900 matches, I played in stints as it said in my signature, well, all the info is in my signature, also,I played hard defending and scored around 3.4 goals average per game in that amount of game time, Hard defending suited my team well. And it was the first thing I used when I stated my first team in early 2017.
