So with my Napoli team I finished 4th in the third season and finished with the third lowest goals allowed. Now in Feb. of 4th season I'm the 15th lowest goals allowed.
Just for some info, I made no personnel changes on my team's backline and the tactic I was using in the 3rd season (and into the fourth until I tweaked it) was 4-4-2 flat fairly defensive.
Seems like the play that kills me everytime is the striker gets the ball fairly deep in my area, my CB closes down a bit, the striker lays it off to a midfielder and my CB charges the midfielder leaving the striker completely free, and yes I tried reducing closing down, creative freedom, changing the marking type, etc... but it seems that if I tweak and can stop that play it leaves other problems that lead to goals.
And I'm playing with the newest patch.
Any ideas would be nice, thanks.
