I agree, at first it was great, you had to think how the opponent would play. Now is just LI m2m, and a few change players positions, but that`s it.
I doon`t think LI has to be deleted, it would be better to give a significant bonus to tactics. For example, if the oponent goes LI then you defend 2-3, if the oponent goes 2-3 you go CA. A bonus for defense and a bonus for offense in the probabilities of winning the game.
Perhaps some would say "it`s too different form reality", but this is a game, more than "like reality" it has to be fun.
And I agree with the blank line ups, it should only exist "play like I want to" or whatever is named in english.
