I´m not sure if it works in the long run, but on hard away games I´ve changed one of the Def Mids to Half Back and the Wing Backs to automatic.
That has worked really well so far.
Hey Chrissy, thanks for the tactic - I´m using it with great succes in my newly started Tranmere game.
One question; complete forwards are pretty rare in the lower leagues. Have you had any succes with changing the attackers to advanced forwards or other more pacy roles?
