Attacking mentality even when you take the lead at home
I've found that even against better teams than mine I have an attacking mentality.When I get a goal I have to keep attacking, as a normal mentality lets them snatch a goal back.Does anyone play different at home when leading?

I also have noticed that. If I am playing against any team better than mine, or against a lesser team who is having a good day, anything less than an attacking mentality will allow them to creep closer and closer to my net.
I guess it's the old philosiphy: "The best defense is an attack"
If I am up around the 75th minute against a better squad then I will switch to a defensive mentality and increase time wasting to a maximum. But anytime before then is enough time for them to come back.

Well if you think about it that is what would happen IRL.
If Man Utd took the lead they wouldn't drop off they would try to kill of the game with a second goal.
Now if you still have a narrow lead going into the last 15 mins then you may take of a striker for a DMC and play a more defense counter-attacking game.
As there is a risk playing the counter, leave it until 75-80 mins.
