I've actually been having a bit of success with two tactics: A non-striker 4123 and a work-in-progress 4231 that aims to soak up pressure. They've won me the Champions League in my second season with Valencia. The "forwards" can't shoot for toffee, of course, but the back is solid and the results consistent.

Anyway, if anyone wants a look, PM me.
 
that's a pretty fair result, isn't it? equal number of shots, possession fairly well spread, their players actually rated better than you. We've been told to pretty much ignore CCs and HCs, for no better reason than they're broken. I'd take that result.

In my most bizarre game against Madrid I defended deep, stood off, soaked up pressure with two defensive midfielders and no striker, countered and won 2-0. They had 35 shots, I had three.
 
I just rage quited for the first time this game, and I feel it's a legit one. Schalke vs ManC, I am SChalke, First I score... All good. Dominating the match. Then Fahrman Jumps at corner and slams ball into own goal... OK **** 1-1... Then Matip get's the ball in defence, passes it towards goal, but fahrman is still on the other side of the goal, 1-2 another own goal... WTF... I wanted to record it but i quited game

The offside thing is a bug in latest patch, maybe even recognized one? It's just frustration. I know offside trap can be avoided but it's been quite ridiculous in latest patch, regardless of the player.

Maybe slightly, but like I said, YMMV. I've not had issues; others have. I'm inclined to believe it's a style of play issue, though I'll agree it seems to be slightly unnaturally high.

Young was fairly over rated already, Kagawa has only improved, his passing went from 14 to 16. Nani has 19 dribbling and 14/15 dribbling IIRC, he doesn't perform that's nothing thing, because of his shoots from distance PPM, CA might be the only thing decreased, attributes are more or less same. Valencia/Ferdinand's stats I'll accept have been reduced. Evra s still frigging boss, he's nowhere near that good IRL now. Even Fallaini's have decreased a bit If I'm right?

Regardless of what Young was like before, he has the correct attributes now. Kagawa has gone down; his hidden attributes have decreased dramatically. Nani has also been downgraded, though slightly.

CA governs attributes. If CA goes down, attributes go down. Simple as that. Evra's hidden stats have gone down, particularly his consistency, and Fellaini hasn't been touched.

Carrick too is still way too good, Smalling etc.

Carrick is fine - if anything I'd argue he's UNDERrated - and Smalling's been United's best defender this year.

Also regarding my first point, some players just don't have the ability to do something, or vision to pick a pass in real life and it is highlighted in their stats, but they still manage to do somehow. I realize how it works but you can be **** sure that Nemanja Vidic can't possibly catch Eden Hazard from halfway of the pitch.

Strawman.

I'm not saying Vidic should be able to catch Hazard - which makes sense, because I've never seen that happen in game. Physical attributes are far more absolute - I'm saying that someone with a passing of 3 and a creativity of 4 SHOULD be able to play a defence-splitting throughball just like Juan Mata should. Football, at its core, is about consistency. I once scored a scissor-kick volley from outside the box against a keeper who now plays professionally. I've never done it again, and that's exactly why I'd be rated in the high minus figures for attributes in this game. My point is, you should never rate players on what they can do; they should be rated on what they can do REGULARLY.

Well my todger of a striker can't hit the net for ****, so I wonder to myself why I'm paying him 70k a week.

Erm, 4 players were also pressing him. When an opposition player presses mine, they get nervous from a couple of feet away but nevermind.

Ashley Westwood, 5'7 with 7 heading, 8 jumping reach just out jumped my CB at 6'3 17 heading, 16 jumping reach, lol. I'll have hard time believing some things like this.

Patrice Evra has scored 7 goals in the last 2 years doing just that. He is tiny.

Outjumping someone is different from scoring headers being tiny. Also some "Tiny" people have great leap.

He's scored 4 of them them by outjumping people. The point being: there is more to beating a playing in the air than heading and jumping stats. There is nothing wrong with Westwood beating your CB in this one situation.
