I've been building my team playing against the AI in league competitions. I've gone from generally being able to grind out a 2-1 win to drawing 1-1 by the skin of my teeth or losing 2-1 or 1-0. My team value is around 1900 and the opposition teams are generally a similar value or much lower but bolstered with star players, re-rolls, etc.
From what I'm seeing in my game, I'm having trouble moving the cage and/or creating a path for the cage to get through. This is leading me to either having to take a gamble in the final couple of turns to run the ball over the line or just simply not getting close enough to even try that.
The other problem seems to be my inability to break down their attack, slow their progress up the pitch enough or simply getting decimated by their star players who either KO, injure or stun my players enough to create gaps in my defence. Guard is having a limited effect for me as I seem to be losing out to block when going head-to-head with the opposition.
Although I'm playing with an orc team, I'd appreciate any general pointers as to how I can learn to overcome these issues. I know I'll get better as I play more but anything to give me a leg up would be appreciated. I've read the articles about forming and breaking cages but there doesn't seem to be much about moving cages. The opposition don't seem to be forming cages and I'm getting decimated too quickly to be able to form effective obstructions.
