[Defence against Man Utd (first season)]

Hello,

Do other players also face huge problems when playing against Man UJ.  I cannot stop them from playing long or through balls on Rashford who scores the one after the other. I have mainly played Arsenal and Aston Villa with good success. I was champions with Arsenal (tactics looking great, only losing 2 matches all season) and had to play a cup final against Man U and yes 5-0 loss. On my Villa save (P3 after 9 games), I have replayed the Man U fixture 20  times in the meantime, changing all time my tactics (mainly defence, set one or 2 CB on cover, set low defensive line, go to 3 central backs, ...).  I dont find a way to stop them. Their 3 Att mids and Advanced forwardsare unstoppable for me. Did someone find solutions? Thank you!

I am rather positive about the latest patch, enjoying my Newcastle game. I think the ME better now, but still not as good as my favourite (FM 2017)

 

As points to improve in my opinion:

1. Long Shots still overpowered. Surely long range free kicks

2. Dribbling OP

3. Not enough goals from headers from open play

4. Long throws: even player that don't have a particular LT rating, can create danger from Long Throws. I also don't like that my striker often presents himself as the short option. (is not an instruction from me)

5. Is it only me? I find top teams (ex Man City) way too strong. I come with my second placed Newcastle with high morale, excellent fitness and successful tactics (in 8 games before) to play Man C (1st place) and after less than 25 min it is 4-0. Their players (Sterling, Aguero, …) just run through my defs and score. Finally it ends 6-1. I have seen this scenario in my former saves as well very often. It can happen, but here it seems almost a rule. They even don't create much more chances than my team, but they are just unstoppable individually.

6. Corners: if you wing backs are wingers on "no instructions", they place themselves often in nice positions for short corners. Why can't you just set them in those positions in the set pieces screens?

7. Combination play has improved, but could still be better (as in fm 2017)
