Is that your left side or theirs? Sorry, without the game infront of me, I can't tell

The only reason I asked that was because the running theme in your setups was an attacking left back, was just wondering if there was some sort of cover there for his runs forward I can see in some of the the sets ups you have midfielders on the left hand side that won't help cover. I know I've had problems with it

It's hard to tell because I left the Brentford game a few days ago in a fit of rage and haven't touched it since It always seems like it is a problem with assists coming from the flanks, I tend to swap between which side goes attacking. In its standard form with the left side being attacking, I have tried to have the left sided centre mid on a defensive role, such a CM/D or BWM/D, and then in my head having the left sided centre back on cover would help too, surely?

Also, forgot to mention I was playing Fluid and Balanced with styles etc.

Do you find most of the goals you concede coming from your left side?

Team report suggests that the Most Common Opponent Assist Area is the Left Wing

Okay figured I'd finally post in here, seeing as it's a problem which has blighted a couple of saves recently...

My teams don't seem to have a problem scoring goals, however we seem to concede A LOT (in the region of 2 per game, on average). See these screenshots from an old Brentford save, and my current RB Leipzig game... Brentford S1 - Brentford S2 (2nd despite conceding over 80 goals!?) - Brentford S3 - RB Leipzig S1

It doesn't matter what I do with defenders and instructions, they always tend to either over-commit and find themselves out of position, or they don't pick up their man, usually when an exchange is occuring (e.g. a left back moving over to the wing to close down a wide player, leaving his man in the centre). I've tried pushing up, dropping deeper, marking tighter, holding position, all of that! It's all well and good winning games, but when you're conceding 2 goals in the process it can get REALLY annoying.

Where do I start? I tend to play some kind of 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1, although in my Leipzig game I am currently running a Flat 4-3-3 due to the players they have.
