Honestly I adjust my formation by players I have in squad
Lost the opening game in the League to the Title favorite 0-1 away, but won in the Champions League opener 5-0 at home.
I then won the 2nd game of the League 3-0 against one of the CL contenders but lost 2-1 in the Cup to a team one LVL above me, getting 3 injuries in the process, two of them to key members of the team. We're sure to have a really hard time getting back in there if I can't get a bunch of red packs in the next 2 days..!
Hm, seem all "struggle" one way or another. But I was woundering, are all teams in your league that are marked as "blue" friends or what? Are they people you know or just people you accepted as friends (after sending you a inventation?)... I don't know it this is true, but I recall that the more "friends" you have in your league or cl - the more tougher it gets and strange result could occur just to make it more "tense, tought and competitive"?
About the injuries. I agree, had 3 injuries so far as well (both league,cl and cup) and I refuse to buy medic packs (tend to get more injuries if I do).

I faced a 4-1-3W-2 in cup first leg, despite winning only 2-3, those were the stats (playing away)
I used a 3N-1-4-2 with normal mentality, mixed passing and focus, full pitch, no arrows. we both attended (i at least logged before beingkicked out) without further watchers.
I do think that the key is the full pitch pressing, as playing own pitch makes you wait for the opponent to move. works good against weak teams, as your counters and generally overuns destroy them, but against a same level you need to block its attack. MCs here are hugely needed with good defensive stats.
As you can see my keeper didn't make any save, and rated a 4. I didn't follow, but to me looks like he got 2 goals from nowhere, "idiotic engine style".
Is it morally ok to support you biggest competitors opposition during matches? I did it today and I think I just made him draw the game. Feels a little bit cheap though. I don't do it against long time "game" friends though all though they are kinda good.
Wednesday.
LEAGUE. Match 2. LONDON CITY (79.4) v OZ SPOR FC (78.5)
Result: LONDON 2-2 OZ SPOR
Goals: Robins 8, Seun 14, Rajabi 17pen, Fiksdal 67
M.o.M: Percy Robins
We started the match well enough, and quickly were ahead when Percy Robins worked himself some space to fire home. Six minutes later, Christian Seun produced an eaqualiser and within a couple of minutes, Mads Fiksdal handled an incoming corner, to give away a penalty, from which Omid Rajabi scored to give the visitors the lead. The score remained like this until the 67th minute, when Fiksdal made up for his earlier mistake, when he headed home after a cross from Stig Andersson. Jake Brown suffered a groin strain during the first half. A draw was slightly disappointing, but at least we are still unbeaten by these higher level teams. Tomorrow we play away, in the league, at a team that we last played against in the cup in season three.
City: Miklosko, Costa, Watts, Fiksdal, Cole, Andersson, Santos, Hori, Brown (Rabus), Leth, Robins.
