"What should i do against the teams who use exactly the same formation? So far i haven't had any trouble defeating anyone (including Man City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Man United, Porto) but i can't defeat Dinamo Kyiv who uses same formation, my guys usually get like 8-10 shots on target but 1-2 of them go in. At the same time Kyiv has 2-3 shots on target and all of them go in :s. Usually my defense works wonders but not this time, the after game rating of my defenders ranged from 5.70 to 6.60 :/. I'll reload few times and try adjusting it a little and see what happens. \nHeres a screenshot from 2 different games with both exactly the same tactic and exactly the same setup of players. First one was my 4-1 victory over Chelsea and second one was my pathetic 0-0 with Dinamo Kyiv. \nˇ \nEdit: \nSo i managed to finally overcome the problem after 5-6 tries, i drawed or lost every one of them either 1-1,0-0, 2-1 or 3-2. Then finally I moved one of the DMs to CM position and the AMC to the CM position aswell so my formation ended up being 4-1-2-2-1. I also changed the settings of the AMC that i moved to MC to look the same as the ones of the DM that was moved to MC position so they both had same settings (The remaining DM had also the same settings i believe). I didn't change anything else. Here's a picture: \n \nAnd here is the result: \n \nSorry about posting my moaning here but perhaps it will give some ideas to other people who might face the horrible Dynamo Kyiv or any other team playing the same formation.  It should also be noted that i'm a complete beginner and had no idea what i was doing :/ But i'm happy that whatever i did worked. Not saying it will work for other people but it's worth a try i guess. Only downside is that once i changed back to the original tactic the team's familiarity with the formation had fallen back to \"awkward\", the rest of the familiarities remained same though. \nEdit2: It seems that the problem isn't simply the opponent using same formation, but i guess it more complicated and playing on away field is also part of it. The very next game after this was a league game against Gladbach on my home field who uses same formation as Kyiv and this tactic does. By the half time i was leading 6-0 while using the original tactic without changing the DM or AMC position. Second half was more calm and final score was 9-0. And then my game decided to get bugged and wouldn't let me save so i had to restart the computer and re-play the game, this time i won 3-1. Gladbach is not any weaker than Kyiv is, on the contrary, so i don't really know what to think of this situation. "
