Can't win to save my life

played 13 in WL, won 6, lost 7, of which 6 were undeserved. Im sick of losing to own goals, AI errors, hitting the post, bed refereeing calls, and just general bad luck. The worst part is when you completely outplay someone yet they still win off of a lucky goal and dab on you before messaging saying 'shh' or 'get good'. Don't get me started on F****** disconnects

    I feel your pain.... I was in the same boat stressing out raging over the same issues....

    Only advice i can give is change something...

    Are you a good defender? Play a more attacking formation
    Is defending your weak point? Play a slightly more defensive formation
    Where are you losing the ball most? Do you need a more central or wider formation?

    I switched to 4231 - On the defence it feels like 6atb and attacking if your patient in your buildup you have 6 on attack with LB/RB overlaps this WL i hit Gold 1 for the first time ever (Hey its good for me lol) and i can honestly say i rare felt dominated or victimized

    I use Bruma`s setup

    LB/RB - Stay back while attacking
    CDMs - Stay back while attacking
    LAM/RAM - Stay forward
    ST - Get in behind / Press back line

    85 30 O
    60 30 45 F
    70 65 47 C

    Try and enjoy and just remember to slow down play

    4-2-3-1 is so hard to use, it's not for everyone, I use it as a defensive solution when I'm under pressure sometimes but it doesn't get me out of trouble when I need it most
    OP what's your team like

    I ALWAYS dominate the opponent using 4231 only formation i struggle vs in 433(4) for some reason, with 4231 tho i always have 20+ shots on target easy

    But of course you deserved your 6 wins, because you played much better than all your opps? You never beat a better player than you too?
    I'm also not sure the 7 people who beated you would agree when you say it's undeserved...

    Game scores , if you are not a very good player or a pro-player, is pre determined before the kick-off. It is like the movie "final destinantion". You can however, change your destiny by tweaking your formation, custom tactics, and some luck,,,, but defeat will always find you in the end. Maybe not the game that you playing right now, but the next one.
    I did accept the fact that I am an average/above average player, and there are players out there who are better than I am.
    I once was a Div 7 player, and it was difficult to get promoted to Div 6. I was unable to win 4 games in a row to qualify for the WL. But now I am a Div 2 player and I am playing in WL consecutively. I am still a 50%50% win/loss player but there is always room for improvement.
    First thing you should do is not to repeat your mistakes in the game. Watch the replays over and over and find out what was wrong. Tweak your formation during the game to cover your weaknesses. Remember , every opponent have a different style. (Although Smalling, Butland, Kante and Son are always there)
    ... one last thing,, whenever you start a game, always tell yourself that something ridiculous will happen and you will concede a goal or you may even lose the game. This will help you to release some post-game irritation.

    How does playing patient work with fast build up in custom tactics?

    well the beauty of football is that "versatility", i normally counter 4-3-3(4) with 4231(1) and counter 4231 with 352

    its just how your brain is wired i guess, and for the love of god i could not play two WL in a raw with the same team or formation and tactic, its one thing that stings me the most this year

    86 Florenzi - 89 Khedira - 88 Vidal
    84 Sandro - 96 Chiellini - 90 Boateng - 94 Lahm
    86 Fahrman

    these teams are solid, not super but solid, i would say with this teams you should be able to scrap Gold 2 if you play all your games with no issue (online seasons are different story, there is too much BS variables involved)
