hi guys i'm using a 4-4-2 formation with man utd using 2 high placed wingers. i am scoring a lot of goals but i struggle to stop the big teams like chelsea, barcelona etc scoring against me. i have my 2 fullbacks on auto duty, rio is set to ball playing defender cover and chiellini is ball playing defender stopper. what settings do you use for your formations?

So far i have P 32 W 26 D 4 L 2 F 93 A 16 GD +77 PTS 82 (currently top)

I reaaly want to continue scoring the way i am but want to really tighten up my defence in the process.

Set the fullbacks on Defend and Ferdinand on covering Defender,Chiellini on a Ball Playing Defender,Stopper.You cannot have two Ball Playing Defenders and expect it to work.That's like playing two Advanced Forwards.
 
You want to concede less? You're conceding a goal every two games, I'd be chuffed with that XD
 
i know it may sound like a greedy request. i am well happy with my formation but the trouble i have is against the big teams which i always struggle to beat. maybe i need a more defensive formation just for these games?

always try and play an anchor man or defensive mid in bigger games, gives you a little more support and strength on defence!
 
would you sacrifce a striker or a midfielder for that? also are narrow formations better for these games?
 
Using a narrow formation in big games works well if you have attacking Full back/ Wing backs, it allows you to be strong defensively while still actually having some width in your play. I'd try it if you are sure your Full Backs are up to it.. Who are your full backs?
 
evra and Srna. i have retrained chiellini to play on the left too.
