If the opposition has a much stronger midfield (poor) and a central defence that should be high passable but poor and weak everywhere else what would you do? Assuming that your team has the better attack and defenders with high stamina but no passing so counter attack will not work too well.

You haven't got passable attack, do you? If your attack is weaker than his defence and your mid is worse then his mid as well you have little chance. I've won v.s. superior numbers last season, but that was at home. 3-4-3 sometimes just is a miracle line up :)

Dell says: With 3 IMs and 1 Winger I can get passable(-), passable(--) and poor(+) with a wretched(+) midfield.

Yndy says: The difference between your teams is not that high, you can either play your normal tactic(above) or you can put the winger as well towards middle and play PiC. Your midfield will be a little lower but with some luck you'll get a draw and keep you TS up for future games.

The difference is not so high that you need to give up the game from the first minute, not even to be worth playing CA.

The other idea. Should I just abandon the game and PIC and press?

The other option is playing 5-2-3 PIC and play with counter-attack. You might have to gather your offensive players at one wing s.t. your attack rating is at least higher on one side.
But then you can also lose 10-0...The main thing is your defense must a lot stronger than his attack.

The defence would be inadequate in all three areas with + on the left where he is slightly stronger. I'm not really convinced that would be high enough to stop his attacks although I would welcome any follow up comments.

Hmm, what happened to Dell's comment...? Hit edit instead of quote yndy? ;)

How can you calculate whether you can pic or not?

HT Ratings can be used to calculate ratings pretty accurately if you adjust the settings after each game. I think I'm just going to treat this game as a loss and PIC it.

I just downloade HT Ratings to try it out. I'm having problems signing in due to my router most likely. The FAQ on the site just says to let your firewall know that HT Ratings is ok without actually specifying the port it needs open.

Any idea anyone and marks out of 10 for HT Ratings?

Thanks!!
