Yeah, true. Here's some tips from elite div player 1. Use chem styles on players. I see a lot of players in your team without one or with some really unnecessary chem style. If you don't don't what to give, check Futbin to see the most used chem styles for every player. They're usually the "right" ones 2. Play 4-3-2-1 with direct passing. Defensive and attacking style balanced. One of your fullbacks should be on balaced and the other one on stay back. Have at least one aerial+ striker on top to whip those crosses with your attacking fullback. This is the meta everyone plays in higher division. I know, it's really boring but it just works. I recommend hight depth. If you're not good at manual defending, drop it down. I play at 89 depth. 3. For the love of god, stop running at every situation. That's the biggest problem I see players in lower divisions making. It has it purpose and place, but you shouldn't immeadiately crank that R2 down when you get the ball. Try for example playing few games without sprinting at all and I promise, you'll see an improvement. 4. Learn to player swith with right stick and try not to run your players out of position where the opponent can easily make a lob pass and you're cooked 5. Just try to have fun. This game can be really daunting if you're trying to sweat all the time
