No, that's probably a good thing as it'd make the game a lot duller if there was something to win all. I'm just a bit frustrated that I'm not doing better. I'm a bit hung up on the tactic not working as I'm expecting it to. I'm having trouble referencing this game against anything though, if you've played FM you could usually work out a tactic that played to your team's strengths but I've been going at this for some time now trying to get a team together that work the way I expect.

I've shifted it slightly but I was expecting the 3 central defenders to be able to deal with any opponents top 2 or 3 in strikers.
I also expect the two wingbacks to be able to counter opponent's attacking wide players.
When playing a stronger opponent I usually try and flood the centre with a central 3 in midfield and 2 lone strikers that are 5-6 stars.

I can understand how a defensive mindset would isolate the two strikers, but when playing 3 central strikers against 2-3 defenders I can't see how they'll be held for 90 mins. Maybe I should've gone for long balls to get the counter attack started faster but I'm not sure how sensible the game mechanics are. From experience in older CMs you usually just lost possession that way.

In your experience, would you say wingbacks have trouble defending AMLs and AMRs? Does it matter much if the mentality is set to defensive or offensive when face with AML/Rs or ML/Rs?
