Season 135 - Are you ready?

[VFK]

Started the league with two losses from two tough games, couldn't really do much today, My possession was only 42 % which is pretty low, but still I got to attack only THREE times with the last one being in the 90th minute when the game was already lost.

Didn't matter when I switched the mentality into more attacking or when I changed the formation to 6 midfielders. Didn't matter when I set the passing strategy to short or when I put the possession bonus to 15 %. (Not that I believed those to have a major effect, just had to try something ) I simply couldn't get to attack. Not much you can do, pretty frustrating.

Funny thing is, when that happens, I've found that playing a defensive formation and mentality actually helps in taking control and scoring. So actually the opposite of what you did. Pushing for an attack doesn't give you possession. It strengthens your attack, but in order to be able to attack you have to have possession.

I don't know if that helps either, there's so much randomness that it's hard to make conclusions based on some experiences. I played with defensive mentality and four defenders for most of the game, about 65 minutes and I didn't want to go hard-defending when I needed a goal . Tactics and formation seem to be minor factors in possession anyway.
