in league 2 3 seasons in finished 8th 2 years in a row with a 4-4-2

now 9th with this

conceede

now 9th

The problems i see is conceeding from so many corners

and lots of crosses i want the team to dominate the ball and win it in the middle with the 3. but in games seems like the wing backs get pulled out of position then a throughball then cross then goal

how many glaring holes am i missing.

Scoring isnt a real problem have

22

12

10

Are you playing with 2 strikers?

You may want to use a halfback if you want to use 2 wingbacks. The role will give your CB more protection when your wingbacks joined in the attack. BWM will close down alot more and that could leave your defence exposed.

What's your defending corner setup?

[jstars]

2 defenders on post

3 zonal markers

1 go back

1 mark tall player

1 close down

1 edge of area

1 stay forward

yes 2 strikers

1 inside forward - now changed to winger support

[vasilli07]

You may want to try my setup. Remove go back as it's the same as zonal and close down as AI never uses short corners. Change to 2 players marking tall(preferably your CBs) and 1 man mark(your DM who should be good or decent at marking).

thanks will update on progress.

the half back has been a revalation for me so far
