Default Opposition always has more posession?

No matter what I've tried, the opposition always has a better percentage of possesion. I'm winning though but the posession stat is worrying me. This happens every game and usually their midfielders has like 50-70 passes.

You guys faced the same thing?

if you are playing on the counter I wouldn't worry, especially if you are winning.

Opposite problem here. Absolutely dominating possesion in every game, but struggling to score at all. Creating some decent chances, usually 7 or 8 shots on target but possession is usually at least 55% in my favour.

I find I get too much possession when I play at too slow a tempo, my players just hold it. I'd play a faster tempo and set one player to hold the ball.

Been experimenting with tempo. I don't have it particularly low - last notch of slow, first notch of normal - but what I see on screen is actually alright. The only players who seem to hold possesion unnecessarily are the wingers.

Only 24 hours of playing with the patch so early days yet...
