woody2goody Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Ok, I started a game with Aberdeen to try to eventually break Old Firm dominance in the SPL, and I'm struggling somewhat. I'm already out of the Europa League, I've lost heavily to Celtic and Rangers, and my only wins have come against Falkirk and St. Mirren. I'm currently Pld 6, Won 2, Drawn 1, Lost 3, F 5, A 10, Pts 7, 6th Place. I know 6th place isn't bad, but my team haven't been playing very well, and we were recently dumped out of the Scottish League Cup away at Greenock Morton. While it's still believable, I used very similar tactics in the demo, with a similar quality of players, against what I see as better opposition, and in the three or four months I played of that game with Middlesbrough, I was in the top 4 of the Championship and got to the Quarter Finals of the Carling Cup. I don't know what I am doing wrong, maybe my tactics are too conservative, but then why have I been hammered by the Old Firm? Anyway, here's my usual team and basic tactics: GK: Jamie Langfield RB: Ricky Foster CB: Zander Diamond CB: Samuel Kuffour LB: Charlie Mulgrew RM: Djamel Belmadi CM: Mark Kerr © CM: Sammy Stewart LM: Sone Aluko ST: Tommy Wright ST: Lee Miller Philosophy: Balanced Strategy: Standard Passing Style: More Direct Creative Freedom: More Disciplined Tackling: Default Marking: Man Crossing: Default Roaming: Default Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 Ironic. I'm Rangers and I can't buy a result against Aberdeen. Five and games and 1 point so far. It doesn't matter that they have 5 times less shots than me every game and that I've signed top class defenders that can't win a header. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coop Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 In a way you've got the same problem as me. It cost me as I lost the league by 2 points before losing the SC Final to the Dons. I'm now trying a strange 5-2-2-1 formation in the hope my defence picks up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
