Ok thanks, doesn't sound too bad. But please correct me if I'm wrong: for example the 4-2-3-1 the AI uses is always with 2 DMs (as the preset) and never with CMs. Same with formations with 5 defenders. That probably because there are no such preset formations with 2 CMs. As human player I have often used CMs in these formations as I think that this reflects reality better or sometimes works better. But now I feel I have an unfair advantage when doing so...

Hi, please tell me if this has been discussed aleady but I didn't find it. I observed that AI seems only to use the pre-set formations (at least against me). Can anyone confirm that or have you seen other? If yes, isn't that contradicting with the often stated "fact" that the AI has the same "instruments" as human players? My conclusion for the moment is: to create "equal chances" I am currently also only using these formations which makes tactics tweaking a lot less fun... Also because some obvious formations are not included. And is there any indication that AI does not only use pre set formations but maybe even only pre set tactics? Or are there observations that it at least is amending these?

does that include looking at defending throw-ins? Further updates to the match engine

I agree that there are far too many goals directly following a throw in.
