With a comparable team as 3 seasons ago my ratings are very similar. True, midfield is slightly less, but not very dramatic.

What are the findings of my fellow CDZ-HT players?
I share your view. Midfield is worse, but so is that of the opponent. The net result is none. The only viable alternative are 4-5-1 or 4-4-2 with either OCD/DF, but that's terrible for your attack ratings. Or terribly expensive, because defensive forwards don't come cheap. I'm also not convinced that an OCD has a higher contribution to the midfield than the third IM.
