Avoiding loss when reduced to 10 men

[Devians]

In the recent seasons, my player are getting a lot of red cards. Previously I always decided to switch 3-5-1 when such situation happens but now-a-days I have been losing a lot. Mainly the wingers cause me more trouble. I play coentrao and alves as the right & left midfielders with the role winger and duty automatic. But when i set them to defensive wingers on defend duty then they hardly venture forward. Should i change their instruction or buy a new set of full backs or adopt a new tactics or is their anything else that i can do??

Sorry for my bad English and thanks in advance

Go to a 4-4-1 no matter what. Try defensive wingers, a BWM-DLP (D) partnership in the middle and all defensive duties. A powerful striker would help give you a chance on the break. Remember you don't want to get beat since you're vunerable, so go to Defensive/Rigid or Counter/Rigid

Hope that helps!

In the past whenever i had used defensive duties or drop deep my team doesnt seems to score. Will look for a powerful striker
