Can't score today, need some advice
So I've been playing WL for a bit now and it seems I absolutely can't seem to score.
Usually play a 41212(2) with lots of quick passing in the buildup but I seem to run into a wall of 6 people around the box and someone manages to stick a leg in every time my players make a run inside. My longshots are either off or the GK just makes save after save. Messi stumbles on a simple tap-in after a driven pass inside. Even driven shots across the goals are always saved or go wide.
I rack up about 7-10 shots on goal per game, most in good positions inside/around the box but the finishing always fails me while on the other side my opponents of the last 3 games have scored on 9 of 11 shots they've had. It's beyond frustrating at this point, as I feel like I'm playing at least up to the level of my competition but can't seem to edge out a single win.
Even tried swapping to 4321 when facing 41212(2) as that's what I'm struggling with the most when I play the diamond as they just hit me on the counter after Messi has misplaced yet another pass and my fullbacks are always way up the pitch.
How to stop the funk?

Works well for me
Got me elite this weekend and game play was terrible
Absolutely relate to struggling once getting to the opponents box. Seems like there's 20 men in there sometimes
It seems like people are going PTB + Auto Contain even more than usual because of the MASSIVE input delay and lag. It is the only way they know how to complete in the lag.
Yes be lame and exploit bugs like everyone else
Sounds like you are getting handicapped get ur team rating under 85
" momentum" isn't It lovely? I swear if this is in 18 I'll quit fir life and I've played since ps2 days
That's what I thought . it always shuts you guys up the truth. Exposing your lane anything to win tactics.
I literally tried everything. Finesse shots, driven shots, driven pass into the box where Ronaldo somehow just stumbles over the ball, long shots from great angles, long shots from bad angles, 1v1s, power and finesse inside the box and so on. I was just out of answers by the end of the game and my opponent was unable to to anything except for 2 chances and somehow my DDG can't make a single save while his ends up with 15.
Tough stuff
Cutback?
You might have gotten me there, probably would have won if I had tried it. Time for the gym touse that negative energy
Bro I told you you are getting handicapped reduce your team rating to under 85 and see
So you have a pop about driven shots because it's an exploit then suggest he gets his team under 85..... So C'mon are you option 1 or option 2
What u just said makes no sense bro
it's understandable to me. You're complaining about cheating/exploiting, but then you're telling him to get his team under 85 to gain an advantage by exploiting the rating system.
@DonovanFan
exploit verb (USE WELL)
To use something in a way that helps you:
Example: We need to make sure that we exploit our resources as fully as possible.
It cannot apply to driven shots & not be applied to bronze benching, in fact I would argue that bronze benching would be far more on an exploit (if it actually worked)
