Offside problem!

While playing my Real Madrid game, I played for most of the season a 4-3-3 formation with farrowed AMs and a lone ST, since all of my STs were scoring but noone anything special, I decided to move Robinho form AMR to ST. These were his setups:

Mentality 17-19
Creative Freedom 10-12
Closing Down appx. 10
Short passing
Easy Tackling

Often FRs and RWB, medium TTB and CB, rarely LS.

He had 3 runs and 7 offides in one game, iirc, so I decided that's too much and gave him medium FR, but it didn't help. Next thing I know I lowered his mentality to 15-16, hoping that would help, it looked so, but when I put Ronaldo for one game with the same settings, he had 6 offsides.

I'm not sure what to do for next season, and help would be appreciated :thup:

Its possible the team you were playing were very good at the offside trap. Also the type of passing you use could affect this, for example if you are using a direct / long approach he is more likely to be running onto the balls and starting in an offside position. However if you are using short passing the ball is more likely to arrive to his feet and then he can move forwards.

This may be your problem, otherwise you should probably tone down his mentality slightly more...
