Im finding myself conceding late goals during the games. Is this due to my players not being fit enough or another reason? Please help.

could be because your training is not good enough, could be because your tactic is a high tempo high pressing one that knackers your players, however much more likely that you are not countering the AI tactical changes that it makes when chasing a game.

If you keep an eye on formations generally the AI switches itself to something very attacking in last 10-12mins something like 424. To combat this I try and pre-empt this around the 80min mark by switching to a more conservative tactic or even a defensive one. I find that the last 10mins pass now without much incident as I have in effect countered the AI's change.

Be careful not to do this too early or you will find yourself pinned back.

first sorry for english,not fluent
there are lots of facts..
-increase time wasting for last 8-10 mins.
-switch dm's and full backs' mentalities to defensive/ultra defensive,don't let them forward run..
-your defensive line must be deep
-you may choose a narrow depth to avoid through balls.(secondary advise)
-if you can make substition,add a towering defender to avoid aerial threats like corners or long balls.you can take a forward out,because not necessary.
-decrease closing down, your players can stay in their areas..
-if opponent changed to a 4-2-4,match opp's extra forwards with your wingers.they can take care..
-if you have a player who can hold the ball, let him hold the ball..

There are several things to look at when you go looking for that question and it helps to answer the opp question too..how do I score late in a game?


Before you go changin your tactic and the way you play. What kind of tactic are you using?

Training. are your players training schedule fitting your style of play..if you are a high tempo sort of manager, then you should make sure your players trainings cover, teamwork, stamina, workrate.

Does your squad profile have determined players? Is your defending group a determined lot? If they aren't they are the type who could drop their shoulders in a match if they are a goal down or get complacent.

Are your players entering halftime with a 1 goal lead having superb or very good morale but having 6 for ratings? Then they are not playing to form. Let them know.

Is the AI swopping to a very attacking tactic late in the game and are you slow to react? Then if you are you are letting yourself get caught.

So you see, your question is a fairly loaded one that has a lot of areas to look at.
