Obscenely good going forwards. Won League 2 with Swindon, record 115 points. Something crazy like +86 GD. But a sieve at the back. 4 games finished 6-4 or 6-3. Something like 65 goals conceeded in 46 games. The balanced tactic works against equal or superior teams, but struggled against lower teams. The two games I lost were against teams in the relegation zone. Changing to attacking fixed that, and I ended the season on a 18 game without defeat streak. Very few clean sheets across the season.
Goals came from across the front 5, 3 players hit 20+ league goals. But the AI team in 2nd also had 3 players with 20+ goals in the top scorers chart, so not sure if the game is bugged or something.
Looking forward to season 2, I think most of the transfer budget will go on defenders, as it doesn't seem to matter who is up front, chances are so frequent.
