Ok, thought i'd ask for help as i've tried everything and am getting too ****** off to play.

It seems most people are finding this demo much easier than fm 2011 but it's the opposite for me. I've tried just making a 4-1-2-2-1 tactic and change hardly anything as apparently that's the way to go on the demo, but no luck there. So I made an in-depth tactic, changing every single slider to what would make sense and give me a good balance, yet I still concede more than tactics that have everyone basically on attack.

I'm playing with PSG and have a pretty solid defense (Sirigu, Aurier, Sakho, Lugano, M'Bengue). They've blended, have no language barriers anymore, are familiar with the tactic, and have an average height of atleast 6".

On 2011 I could go a whole season conceding less than 15 goals, but I completed the half season with PSG and conceded 35 in 19, and i'd guess about 20-25 were from corners/crosses.

It's like no matter how I set my defense up, the computer scores from corners as easily as we could on last year's by using the far post trick.

Here's my corner setup & formation. I decided to put my wingers on the posts instead of my fullbacks, as the FB's have better marking stats.

If any of you have figured out a winning formula for defending corners (or defending in general) on the demo so far then any help would be greatly appreciated. Scoring goals hasn't been too much of a problem (though I haven't been smashing teams), i'm just conceding too many.

Oh and thought i'd mention, I always keep my match prep on defending set pieces at average workload
