Make sure that You are following St Tony22's solution of the teams that You should be using for the stickers ...
Beating some of the better teams with the lesser teams such as Senegal , Peru , USA etc can still be a pain ( My apologies to TA members from those Countries
) due to the fact that the better teams such as Brazil , Germany and of course England have much higher Team Stats and are overall much faster and more competent .
However a easy way to beat those better teams is to simply do the following :
1/ Take the lead / Score the first goal ... ( The hardest bit )
2/ From the resulting kick off win the ball back
3/ Pass the ball back to one of Your defenders and go and stand him somewhere near one of Your corner flags.
You will notice that the other team very rarely comes to try and win the ball back ... they just stand at a distance ... Which allows you to simply run the clock down .
Very occasionally they may come and win the ball back but if your standing near the byline they tend to run the ball straight out of play awarding You a goal kick ... Simply repeat the process from the resulting goal kick .
