First of all, english is not my native language, so be kind
1 - Tactical setup
Setup 1 - when I play against weaker opponents - most of the time this is my starting setup

Setup 2 - when I play against stronger opponents
View attachment 172965
Setup 3 - when my team is leading I usually employ this setup - usually in 80th minute of the match

There is no Player Instructions in these setups.
When my player gets booked (yellow card) I turn on the "ease off tackles" PI.
2 - I'm managing Lazio in Serie A. Also managing Newcastle in England and Rijeka in Croatian First league - but that's not important right now.
3 - I predict to be 3rd-6th place in Serie A (now I'm 17th).
4 - my vision/plan
I don't have my vision really worked out. I want to be 3rd in league (or better). I would like to have 2 strikers in my first 11, but I don't have suitable players to do that, so I'm satisfied with formation right now.
Three midfielders should bring the ball up to wingers, or directly to striker. I expect Klose will be my primary goal scorer alongside Felipe Anderson and Candreva, but striker should be first, then wingers. Main assistants will be my wingers and they would cross the ball to the striker.
I would like to defend deep with closing down dangerous players (strikers, wingers), and I would like to tackle easy so i don't get too many cards.
5 - My issue
I have problem of losing games in late minutes of the match. For example, last match against Steaua (ECC) i was leading 1-0 and made 3 substitutes (first double sub (62nd min) and then one sub (70th min)). I made subs because my players were exhausted, and i subd AMR, MC and DR. Then in 87 minute i got goal and it was 1-1. In 90+1 minute i got another goal and it was 1-2. Second goal was disaster because their AMR crossed early ball (no-one in box), and it got away from him (don't sure how to say that) so he practically shot at goal. My keeper deflected it, and only their striker went into the box and scored. It's like my defence was sleeping.
My main problem is losing a game that i already won. My team stars leading 2-0 and in second half they vanish so match end in 2-3 for opponent.
My defence likes to sleep at the end of the match, and then i lose game. I try to keep everyone fresh before the match, at the end of the match i like to sub exhausted players in defence or midfield so they can handle pressure, and i use contain strategy (setup 3) in last 10 minutes of the match.
Please help! I don't mind changing anything.
