This can be deleted - I started a new "talking points" thread.

I don't feel like I can offer that much advice since I don't play all manual and I know how challenging it is,
I've tried it before.

But the rules of football don't change, whatever you play on.

It shows me that you keep possession a lot which is good and that you're passing is usually really accurate at
80% (obviously this is all based on your last game against Torino).

So your build up play, to me, sounds really good, you keep possession well, you wait and look for chances,
you pick out the right guy and don't give away the ball too much.

But then in the final third, you either lose the ball or you can't get your shot off? So once you have a chance,
you've got to exploit the defenders mistakes and take advantage of it, quickly.
If you pass the ball slowly around the box, eventually the CPU will gain possession and clear the ball,
so you have to act quick in the box.

On the flip side, your defending doesn't seem that great, 13 shots! And half of those on target.
I thought you guys over in the States were known for "Defence wins Championships".
Whilst not entirely true in the world of football or soccer, it's still a huge part of the game and should not be
overlooked.

My biggest tip for defending is to slow down, don't use sprint, always switch your player to the nearest player in
possession. And the biggest one, for me, is to "bend but don't break" meaning, control your back four if you really have to,
but keep them in a line as much as possible, don't break the formation because that's when CPU
will take advantage and get a shot off.
Try and use your CDM or CM's to defend and win the ball back, rather than your back four defenders,
they should be
a last resort!

Hope this helps. In terms of manual, I can't help that much because I don't play on manual.
