10 out of 10 matches is against 1 of these 2 formations. Nobody plays another formation, nobody plays defending by themselves, it's always counter attack running down the line with wingers that is what this game is about.
No thinking in passing, no football, no plays, just pass to the winger and run down the line, cutback, pass and goal. That's it. And defending is just grabbing the CM/CDM +perma R1, and try to intercept passes while the defenders do all the job for them.
This is actually the meta, not fun at all and super super super boring to play against. They have turned the game into this, literally, nobody does anything different than this.
AI is out of control, game is super driven to meta and you try something different you put yourself in a handicapped position. There is literally 0 reason to have any other formations than those 2, nobody use them anyway.
