Am I dumb for being the “Nice guy?”

Carlos181

I don’t play 4231/4222/41212
I don’t croqueta
I don’t el tornado cross
I don’t flick volley shoot
I don’t AI defend
I watch my goals after the match ends
I don’t send a barrage of crosses to FB Ibra (sits on bench)



Lately I’ve been getting punished by the above because I feel like I don’t want to follow the “Meta.” I hated myself when I would score after doing 6+ Croquetas, as it feels like anyone can do that.

Am I being dumb by not using my opponents tactics against him?

Play the game how you like it.
Winning in this game doesn't mean anything, there is no skill gap and the game is broken.

At least try to have fun

I understand that, which is why I play with IRL players I like to watch. However, I still have some competitiveness in me that wants to win.

Same here. No one likes to lose.

But at the end for players like us (not pros) just play the game to have fun. I don't have any META player in my team. I just use players from Serie A or Icons that played in Serie A.

What’s wrong with 41212? I use that and alley never come up against it. 90% 4231 is what I face .

Because people would use it to do some quick ping-pong passes between two very fast players up top. But, it has somewhat gone dead, and everyone has turned to 4-2-3-1

Not really. I face it very often.
And as the OP said. Ping pong passing counter attacks and first time shots. Plus, no team IRL use this formation. But because it's effective, some people abuse it. Same as 4-2-3-1.
Both formation should be removed or nerfed if they want to keep the game feels like a football simulation.

I don't use skill moves either, I just play the way I like my only meta players are fb Ibrahim and pm van basten, mind you I am in division 6 after a bad run trying to win 3 with Dutch players. Play your way.
