İts actually game engine weakness. İts not about tactics only. They are mostly using this tactics because forwards more accurate on headshots than feets. İts ruining fun in game and reality. Everyone in leagues playing same tactics because of that.

İts the main tactic in every top league. 1 midfielder at corner and 2 forward easyly scoring goals with heads. Everyone knows game weakness and abusing as much possible.

That's true

4 def a main tactic in top leagues? :)

Someones using 5. İts doesnt matter actually. Main point is about corner midfielder and 2 forward.

yeah in terms of formation it's mostly 5-3-2 / 5-2-3 / 5-2-winger-2 (nobody really plays 4 def at high level, it doesn't make sense)

but in terms of tactics the details matter, not the formation, formation is just the start, I have like 8 different versions of 5-3-2 (without winger) :-)

İn my league 4 team playing with 4 def version. They are using same tactics and just copy-pasted.Some other league they are playing 5-2-1-2. İ am saying again its not the point. Point about this weakness of game engine whose abusing mostly.

I agree that ME is limited, thus mostly 3 tactic formations being used.

I don't agree that it's easier to score with header than feet. It's not, the easy way to score are 1v1 (feet).
Most headers have actually a low scoring %, especially if you count the number of lost header duels (so cross made - no shot made).

Wing tactics are being used because usually they are easier to make + it's easier to create chance via 1 good winger instead of needing 3 good central mids etc. But wingers are also very easy to stop as well in many scenarios.

İn every game i have maybe more than 5 1-by-1 position but scoring with 3x18 forward just 1-2 goals. My opponents in every game with decent players just scoring 2 or more goals with headshots just with 3-4 shots. I dont know what you are trying to explain but It's not related to the situation I encountered.

last game you had 5 shots and your opponent had 26, I highly doubt that "you had 5 1v1" and "opponent had 3-4 headers"

you left the whole wing open for winger, what do you expect to happen?

you start blocking the wingers = wingers are less effective = people use wingers less

if you keep playing with 4 defs and giving free space to wingers then it's only logical that opponents can destroy you with a winger and that they want to use a winger

btw. using only 1 ATT lowers the scoring ratio due to the fact that there's nobody to make a 2nd shot after GK saves the 1st shot etc.

What are you trying to argue? Main point is different we are talking about. You are engaging trash talk, irrelevant and nonsensical arguments into to discussion. Everyone here is trying to talk about the game's exploits.Everyone here understood what I was trying to talk about this headers. What psychological problems might you have experienced to justify this situation?I'm not the only one experiencing this.Instead of discussing the issue, you're talking about tactics and nonsense here.

Do you think that implying that someone has "psychological problems" is an adequate response? Try to behave like a civilised human.

There was no "trash talk". I explained to you why people use high & wide wing so often. Because you use 4 defenders. That's the best way to exploit your tactic, not the game.

Why do I even bother, keep on believing that it's easier to score a header than 1v1, good luck, have fun.

Agree with borkos. We should be nice to each other even if we dont agree on things.

Dude what are you talking about still? İts not about 3, 4 or 5 defances you are playing or tactical differencies. İts about game exploits we are talking. You still focused about how much defender people playing. Have weakness in game engine at matches which alone midfielder at wing side crossing ball easyly to penalty side and mostly with this way people scoring more goals than 1-by-1 positions. I am talking about top leagues of each countries. Not talking about other divisions in countries. At top level tournaments and leagues its best exploit everyone mostly doing and its ruined fun in game also reality of football.

Need game engine change mostly about head shots and long shots. I have 2 season match data and analysis. İts also not new problem. Keep continue like 15-20 years. Low rating team mostly getting advantages also. Doesnt matter what are you playing or which tactics. Because mostly results is same.

Ratings between similar teams can be super misleading, because the game rewards marks based on tactic use of player, form, as well as the player"s well-roundedness. I could be wrong here.

Tad and I talk a lot and he just bought two guys who are vastly superior to my defensive midfielder, but the difference in marks is small.

Yep, ratings by itself can't explain.

But when you cumulate all stats, rating + possession + shots + field domination, there s no doubt you dominate your opponent.
