It’s most likely because you don’t have a meta team unfortunately. Meta cards are essential. For some reason average cards just don’t run around and get open they will just stay upfield and not move. Also if your midfielders aren’t meta you can’t defend either. Gameplay is horrific, sorry dude.
Skillz have you considered using Cuadrado? Slightly more expensive but is unreal, can replace your icon right-back which you said you wanted and is from Inter so links Barella and Bastoni?
Bro I can’t play one game without the ref calling a penalty against me everytime! Dudes be falling by themselves or barely touch and I get absolutely wrecked and injured not even a yellow card😒💀💀f this game
