Instant result v Watching Match

Hey guys,
Does anyone notice a difference using this tactic with instant result in FM Touch versus watching the match play out? I'm super consistent with it. Performances are amazing but I only seem to win 2-0, 3-1 etc despite having stacks of CCCs and shots on target. It's very frustrating to watch and I was wondering are there better results with the instant result (ie, more reward for your dominance?).

It's a well known issue for some years now. It's like a speed limiter in cars, if your tactic breaks the match (statistically speaking) then it will limit the amount of goals you get. Of course you will have the ocasional 7-0, but most matches you will end up with a sense of injustice: it should have been more! Not to say you'll ocasional get that keyboard-smashing match where you draw or lose, with 30-1 in shots. :) It's the game pushing you towards reality, at leat in terms of results. We all have seen in the past some crazy league tables, mainly those playing the game for almost 25 years now, like me. 15 years ago my objective was not only to be champion with Porto. Was to score 200 goals in 34 league matches. :)

Got appointed as the new Aston Villa manager, when they were in awful form, mid table, and closer to relegation than play-off. Won 15 out of 15 matches, and got them promoted to the Premier League using the V18 Striker version. Pretty decent tactic ;)

Well in this version playing the match is actually better and gives you better result than instant result - FM 16 wasn't like that.
 
SO I'm into third season.. I was managing some lower league teams, but decided to quit and take Arsenal in May 2018, I have signed some players ( Grimaldo, Goretzka, Gimenez, Tah )

Now our first community shield game, dominated against manure

Kodjia was awesome for me in the same tactic

I didn't use him as my first choice striker because he's got "like to try to beat offside trap" trait, so therefore i chose to start with Scott Hogan in most games instead of him. He scored 15 goals and did very well, but Kodjia also did great when I used him, got me 4 goals.
 
there is definitely something you are doing wrong my friend

Maybe my footballer choices are wrong, I do not know. But every game, i experienced at least one woodwork, i don't even count penalties missing. Opponents attack once and score, sometimes they beat me by own goal without a single shot on goal.

So let me get this clear... you are saying that you dominate every match but your players can't use their scoring chances, they hit woodworks, missing penalties and score stupid own goals and you blame the tactic ? :O

I didn't blame anything. I just said that tactic doesn't work for my team, when I use standard 4-2-3-1, win four-five games in a row. What would be your inference?
 
We had some injuries to some of our key players, but just look at that amount of goals we have scored and the difference..

I have made very little tweaks..

This lad is just superb, good job by AI buying him before I took Arsenal.
