Too many goals against me?

[Fragman]

Hi

I've noticed something strange in my league games... Apart from losing the first match 0:1 I've dominated everything so far.
I also have the highest amount of goals scored in the league as well as the best goal difference by far (more than twice the second best). So I am not in any way complaining, just curious.
Why does almost every team with even a mediocre or even weak attacker lineup manage to score against me?

My matches so far have been:
1. 0:1
2. 6:1
3. 9:2
4. 6:0
5. 6:1
6. 5:1

For example:


How did in this 6:1 win my opponent's Q11 ML manage to score a goal?

As I said this is in no way a rant but I'm really curious why this happens so consistently but only in the league.
In CL I've had 3:1, 2:0 and 3:0... In cup 5:0 & 3:0, 5:0 and 5:2, and now the current opponent has me in a 2:2 draw.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong to let this happen?
Mentality is attacking, normal tackling, alsways blue arrow on the DMC. I currently play 4-5-1V cause one of my strikers is out and I only have 3 at hand, usually I play 3-5-2V as in the image above.

you play with a 3 back, get used to it.

What he said. Play with a more defensive line up and expect to start getting more clean sheets.

Well as you can see this also happens with the current 4-5-1. Oh well as long as we score enough to still get domination most the time it doesn't even matter that much to me.

But thanks for the hint.

Not only that, but 3 defenders wide which leaves 2 gaps in the defense line + your DMC seems like one of your weakest players. Any formation that has 2 STs will manage to score against you. As @festinator suggested, you should use a more defensive formation although this doesn't guarantee a clean sheet. Sometimes opponents will score no matter what, but you still have to try to prevent it.

I almost never play a formation with more than 1 striker and so far I've conceded ~10 goals in all competitions, while being 28:0 in the league. I still lost 2 points in the first match - 0:0, but had I not played with 4 defenders that match I would've lost it for sure. Attack wins you matches, but sometimes it's the defenders that really win the league.
