So yeah, basically i have no problem scoring goals and ramping 3-0 up in 60 minutes but the problem is seeing off these results i find a problem doing it!

The 4-3-2-1 is a bit more defensively solid but still i'd like to start keeping the elusive clean sheets! any help is MUCH appreciated thank you!
 
I'd recommend changing your midfield. The roaming of the AP, BWM and BBM holds no stability. Whilst great for attacking and pressing you lack a stable holding midfielder. I'd recommend a DLP-D or CM-D, or drag a CM back to DM and use an Anchor man, DM or HB.

Also, if you think changing these roles will lose you a lot of pressing, change your forwards and wingers to Defensive Forwards and Defensive Wingers especially if you have high Work Rate, Stamina and Acceleration.

I'd recommend Artisan's Gegen-pressing tactic if you want a base example.

Using "mark tighter" and "play offside" is a big no no

hen trying to see off games "keep possession", "play out of defense", "shorter passing", "play narrower", "drop deeper", "stick to positions", "stand off opponents", "stay on feet", "much lower tempo" and "more disciplined"
 
Right i made some tactical tweaks and won 3-0 away from home..

Inst. 2nd half (remained 3-0)

any tips? especially for defensive.. I need to cut down on their chances (they had a CCC and hit the post from lang range twice)

Thank you to you lads helping me, i feel like i'm really learning thanks to you guys and i'm keen to learn more!

If you're going to play deeper I'd suggest standing off opponents, and maybe stay on feet. Hassling opponents deep in your own half will have your players dragged out of position and will create space for the opposition. Staying on feet might prevent them from diving in also, which again can leave you exposed and create space as a result of a bad challenge or a missed tackle if your players go to ground. Also, what philosophy are you using? Contain, Defensive or Counter?

For the defense i used Counter as i want to be able to catch the opposition with their pants down and put us in greater stead, maybe burst their bubble then go back to the attack for a big margin.. i don't know if it's a smart idea as i never got the foourth goal when i deployed the defensive
 
Whenever I need to see of results in the last 10-15 minutes of the game, I do a 3-cb's 2-fb's 2-wb's 2dm's 1am formation

and play- Stick to Positions, Much Deeper Defensive Line, Play Narrower, Hassle Opponents, Stay on Feet, Much Lower Tempo, Be More Disciplined, Retain Possession, Shorter Passing, Run At Defence, all on contain and very rigid.
