It is IMPOSSIBLE to attack in this game

I know I'm singing to the choir here in terms of how bad the game is this year, but I just have to vent. I'm sure a portion is down to my lack of ability as I can't pull off a skill to save my life, but it is virtually impossible to attack in this game. I've tried various formations, players and nothing works. At Squad Battles World Class level I can't muster a single attack. I play some of the higher ranked teams at Professional just so I have a better hope of not losing. The opposition is everywhere, closes down everything, intercepts every pass, through balls are 0% on the ground, in the air a complete waste of time. The only goals I'm lucky to muster are from set pieces or with great slices of luck. I'm literally playing out 0-0 draws and hoping for the best as the opposition plays it over and back across the midfield, and I commit nobody forward. I've never had as many penalty shootouts before as in this year's game. Rant over!
