Game seems ok, but its clear offsides are broken. The offsides don't take into account what happened or who played the ball. So for example if Mount plays Werner through, and Werner scores. But Odoi was 1mm offside on the other side of the field and no where near the ball, goal doesn't count as its offside. Seen it happen a dozen times. Happens a lot from corners. Ball gets crossed in. Zouma heads it at near post, but Werner was at far post (ball didnt get that far) and 1mm offside, so doesn't count.

The easiest tactic by far is to have most of your team hang back, so there is space in behind, and then ping long balls in behind the other team. Long balls from defenders and wide shots from fullbacks are WORLD CLASS, Long balls in behind are pin point. Yet as soon as you get near the box everyone can't see each other or forgets entirely how to pass. Its a ME issue,

In this match engine, a Centre Back can hit a pin point perfect pass across half the pitch to a winger. Regularly. Yet a winger can not do a 5ft cutback cross from near the byline. As soon as a penalty box appears, every player forgets stuff that 8 year olds learn.

Doesn't a hidden stat also affect the players willingness to train hard ? Ambition or something similar.
