Patience! Needed to get my thoughts together and take time to really look at your tactic.
It's not massively flawed, but there are issues. Firstly, I'm surprised you're getting 30 shots off. I'd take a guess and say most of them are from the edge of the area.
Why have you instructed the team to Retain Possession? It is having the opposite effect.
- The team is disjointed. They're prioritising on keeping possession, when there are spaces to be exploited as soon as you win the ball and the opposition defenders are out of place. Instead, the team keeps possession and the opposition fall back.
- When your team builds from the back, they're focusing on keeping possession. That means neat little passes between the Anchor Man, DLP and AP. No-one really moves too much, so if the opposition also has 3 midfielders, you're going to struggle.
- Lets say they are successful in playing the neat passes between themselves. All they're doing is bringing the opposition midfield line closer to the D-Line and eliminating crucial space between the lines.
- The central 3 don't really have an "out ball" wide, because the two CWBs bomb upfield all the time.
- In normal possession, you only really have the AF/A trying to find space in the box. No-one else is a constant threat. The IF/S and AM/S do make the occassional run, but it doesn't happen often. Mostly it's the AF/A vs 2-3 defenders. It won't work.
- At times, the AP/A will look dangerous on the dribble but he will have no-one to pick out ahead of him, except the AF/A with 2-3 defenders around him.
+ The team looks good on the counter, because mentality is maxed out then. Unfortunately for you, if most/all teams are now weaker than you, that means you won't get many (any?) counter attacking chances.
I'd recommend 2 simple changes:
1 - Change the inside forward to an attack duty, so that he's a threat in the box. You could try the AM/S to an AM/A instead, but the IF should be better.
2 - Remove Retain Possession. It's harming you much more than it's helping.
Optional: Change to a Rigid philosophy. Your Attacking duties will have an even higher mentality under Balanced. That means your CWB bomb forward a little too much and your AP/A is utterly un-involved in defending in the midfield.
