I have from time to time tried to follow the suggestions in regard to man to man and structuring an attack but it always backfires. Recently I set up a man to man in a league game vs a team i had beat by 3 goals the first time around. I ended up with a 4-0-4-1-1 and had 20% possession and a goal down at half. I changed to zone and from normal to attacking and barely leveled up at the 90th minute. Ended up with 35% possession much lower than the 60% I usually have. I very much would like to use specific formations etc but it seems to not work. Do teams react poorly to formation changes? The formation had very much fit the suggestions of Justdomes. Other times I have tried similar efforts I have had problems. Even directing passes to an obvious weakness seems to backfire. Man to man never seems to work even though the individual matchups are very favorable. Frustrating because it would be more fun if specific tactics and formations seemed to produce good results but I have seen little evidence to show they do. On the contrary they seem to hurt.
