It's no use having a squad full of star players without a decent way for them to play their football.

Tried that... seemed to work a little... and then... as the same thing happened in my last 10 matches... their striker suddenly is way better than Eto'o and Ronaldinho combined and runs through the entire pitch running by 3 defenders and canons it in from 30 yards... brilliant goal but i never make any of those. Currently last in league with 2 points and only 6 goals after about 15-16 games. I've closed down the game and hopefully i got any energy to try it again tomorrow. Any tips during my sleep will be really really really appriciated.

I know its frustrating but I went through the same situation while playing as a strong team which almost makes me quit the game.

Can you post your Fullback's instruction and team instruction?

Have you tried giving your fullback zero creative freedom? That should do the trick.

You can see my fullbacks settings a few posts above here... as you see i basicly let them defend non-stop. But doesnt seem to work. How can I make sure they dont push through the center between both DC's ?? A DMC or a SWEEPER? (Im training one Sweeper now as he has a high influence, anticipation and tackling.

I've been studying my matches (not a single victory throughout the season now) and notice the pass completion is pretty good but the percantage of tackles won are very very low. How do I improve this?

Give them some higher Closing Down and put tackling on Normal. At the moment u are basicly telling them to never attack a striker who has the ball or make a tackle to attempt to get the ball.

Try giving your central defenders Defensive Mentality, low Creative Freedom, Closing Down around 8-10, Tackling normal and set Forward Runs, Run With Ball and Cross ball on Rarely and let them Cross From Deep.

Hmm just had a look at the stats of your defenders, they don't really seem good zonal markers since they have low anticipation and positioning. You could try giving them man mark without Tight Marking.

Ahhh! Never knew that! So if you're a crap team you should man mark? But their marking ability arent great either. (ps. I got sacked but still need help for future lower league management)
