I hate opposition getting red cards. It means no win for me. I'm Valencia, 14 games in, 12 wins, 2 draws so playin Xerez and within 35mins they have 3 men sent off! I have around 40 shots and game finishes 0-0. Fair enough, battling display, poor finishing, off day for my team but this has happend a few tims within other saves. Also with teams having 2/3 men sent off. I just cant win when playing teams with less men. Then when i get a man sent off no matter what i do, i end up conceded numerous goals. Bloody Frustrating!!
With me, it usually only takes of maximum of 10 minutes to put a few goals past them, try going more attacking once they lose a player. They will obviously be more vulnerable.
i've learnt that if you play slower with shorter passing, the team with 10 or less men will tire chasing the ball all the time. i always used to play quick football, and the amount of shots to goals ratio was abysmal.
since fm08 introduced pitch dimension choices, i've been able to play great defensive, counter attacking football. less goals scored (only scored 5 goals in a game 3 times), but no late comebacks, and very few losses. obviously, there is no point counter attacking a team with less men as they will probably park t'bus.
