I actually think I'm already cheating. I have a CB (Dimitry Verkhostev) who is ridiculous in the air (18 strenght, 19 jumping and 17 heading) and he is killing it on corners and dead ball situatons. I have him set to attack the far post and he has scored 21 goals off his head and created about 1/2 a dozen in goalmouth scrambles. AFAIK this isn't a corner glitch on the 10.3 patch, and I'm putting it down to good form (using the JP woody Germany style tactic) in my 3rd season. Only change is to the Striker position to Advanced Forward instead of Poacher to take advantage of Otoo's strengths. I also change Pacheco/Okoro occasionally to inside forward with a support duty sill though to throw the opposition off or if they go defensive or if I'm in a counter attacking stance. Took my lumps in the last season and started Torric, Okoro, Bekdemir and Otoo and they're starting to come good.
It actually helps that Ajax decided to sell Otamendi to Inter, FC Twente sold Douglas as they were the only two I struggled to score against last season. Got lucky with a mid season pickup on a free of German Pacheco who is absolutely killing it in 8 games so far. Also have a very young Amine on my u18's and I managed to get some decent pacy regen fullbacks last off season so I can finally take the chance on getting them to go forward.
I've also been close on a couple of saves but usually when I wrap up the comp I just trot out my youngsters to get them playing time
Edit: Nope still can't go undefeated PSV just bumrushed me 3-0. I rhink my players have stoppped caring since they'replaying for nothing anymore
