I've tried a couple of these over the last couple of years but the player stats and attributes that had been chosen were all one extreme or the other, you could tell they'd rushed to complete the DB and not given it much thought. Too many players with 20s and other players who were spoiled by some stupidly high ones and stupidly low others. For example you'd have someone like giggs whose pace would be 20 but his passing like 8 or something. Is it done well?
3 at the back seems to break the game like. I play a 3-4-3. Middle centre back as an attacking libero is a game changer.
Won the Prem twice with Sunderland playing 3 at the back (had finished 7th the year before) but had to go back to 4 the next season we just weren't scoring enough. Apparently the game refreshes club reputations around December time so both seasons I would blitz everyone in the first half of the season then couldn't break them down after January. Everyone basically put 10 men behind the ball, we'd get hods of crosses in but we were easy to defend against and there was no space for the strikers to run into behind. Whereas with a back 4 you're stretching the defence as they commit more defenders out to mark your wingers and full backs.
Was thinking about a libero but went for a BPD Stopper on and the left and right trying to play like Sheffield Utd do, only conceded 18 goals in the league and my goalkeeper is very average. Getting Sergio Gomez on a free was a steal like, played over 200 games for us and his 18 free kicks and 17 corners can be huge when playing a tactic that is solid defensively and teams start sitting back.
That’s the same reason I started with 3 at the back too. Found that I couldn’t really get the wider centre backs to overlap and was conceding too much space in front of the defence so abandoned it.
I’ve found similar on past saves but the other way round! Start the season conceding from everywhere but scoring loads then second half clean sheets galore but can’t score!Won the Prem twice with Sunderland playing 3 at the back (had finished 7th the year before) but had to go back to 4 the next season we just weren't scoring enough.

Absolutely pissed the league after changing to 4231 keeping 29 clean sheets in the process. Halfway through the next season now and we're leaking goals for fun and 5 points behind, don't know what I'm doing different
Started a new game with the mighty Edinburgh City the other week, the plan is to make the SPL the number one league in the world eventually
Going pretty nicely so far, three promotions on the bounce and sitting 3rd in the SPL half way through the season. The lower leagues are usually okay just to blast through like this as you can often get players on loan well above the level you’re actually at. Last season I got a 17 year old AMC regen from Celtic with 5* ability and who was already good enough for the SPL - renewed his loan for a second season obviously!
Sunderland are bottom of the championship after taking two seasons to get promoted. Parkinson didn’t even last till Christmas in the first season, and was replaced with Grayson ffs. Think he was sacked second season and was replaced with Alex Neil who’s just been given the boot as well.
I think the Chinese transfer window ends towards the end of feb. Clubs in all leagues can flood you with offers on deadline day. Maybe you just got unlucky.
