I think this year's fm is even more dependent on the players you choose for each role and I think I'm suffering from that with my save.
The problem is I've been using both home and away but I don't have either a suitable deep laying forward or a defensive forward.
On the wings having players suited seems to be hard for me too. Wide midfielders and playmakers are really adverse roles compared to my old fashioned wingers/inside forwards.
In central defence it also seems like I get caught out quite a lot but i guess that's just because my players aren't suited to cover and stop.
But don't get me wrong, had some great success with this tactic. I just seem to get plummeted by teams with great forward lines.
