Conceding a large amount of long rage goals

[William_g90]

Hi guys

I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction with my Chester 4-4-2 tactic.

The tactic itself is working quite well but i'm conceding a ridiculous amount of goals from outside the box the screenshot below is the latest game where I conceded two rockets from about 20 yards out and a volley from just inside the box from the opposition full back

 

As you can see below I create quite alot of clear cut chances and have a really good conversion rate but of the 21 goals I've conceded 8 of those have been from outside the box.

 

Here's a screenshot of my tactic and thanks in advance for your help

The problem most probably stems from the (combination of) following:

- lower defensive line coupled with stay on feet (allowing opposition to run at you and shoot uncontested)

- lower defensive line coupled with standard LOE (making you less than optimally compact in defense, which gives the opposition more space to exploit between the lines of your team)

- a bit unbalanced and hence defensively shaky midfield setup, primarily due to having a CM on attack duty in a system with none in DM position (442)

On top of that, using offside trap makes little (if any) sense when you play with a low D-line. Plus can be very dangerous when the trap fails, because your defenders have no time and space to correct the mistake.
