Default Bad Possession %?

Possession is something I'm having a problem with in the new game. I seem to have about 30%-35% each game.

In (another) new game I've started with Chelsea (post-patch) and my team seems to be getting awfully bad possession (but still winning).

I play a basic 4-4-2 and I've tried messing around with the Team Instructions, playing different players, trying different team-talks, but it doesn't seem to change anything.

Anyone suggest anything to improve my possession? I'm sick of every single news item saying "Chelsea was lucky to get a 4-0 win over Wigan to as the game was very even and the away team dominated parts of the game" or something similar.

This is the bug I am having problems with, if you watch the full game the opposition will pass the ball between each other in their own half without actually looking to go forward while my team stand and watch

it could be that you are using direct passing at fast tempo which your team will look to get ball forward straight away when the other tem could be short passing slow tempo which means they will be much more patient and will give them more possesion in not so dangerous positions most of the time

Afterdark is infamous around these parts

It has to do with time wasting. Put the time wasting bar bar in the middle and you should be fine. If the opposing team likes to play a short passing game with slow tempo then instruct your players to close down the whole pitch.
