i even try to train my defenders and GK , but still... the outcome, i feel like a dumbo and wasting greens in the end to train my defenders lol.

they everywhere like cancer, i dont know how to handle them properly , maybe ill go with many attackers with long pass than playing lotto in next season. maybe its time to play 2 st meta, cuz teams like that is everywhere, anyone success with 2 st? good formation with 2Strikers to counter those mf mourinho style hard defensive maniac
Well, it is indeed harder to win against a mourinho-style 9-men-behind-ball style than the other totally opposite spectrum of formations with only 3 defenders (or + 1 DMC). At least it takes more time to drag on for that needed goal.

Against 3-DCs teams, it is actually a lot easier. The solution is jam packed our central areas, and just play 1 winger at default AML/R position plus 1 ST onto the DC where our winger is (that is to ‘lock’ away that defender with ST to give as much time and space as possible for the winger to operate). +1 defender against attackers, matching midfield, plus winger & ST will win those matches very very easily. Even easier with 3 DCs + DMC when the opponent wastes the DMC totally when we attack only via 1 flank (can even +1 midfielder in those cases). 4-1-3-1W-1 or 3-1-4-1W-1 is the default formation of handling formations with no full-backs.
