first off with a team of players u have i cant see myself using 3 forwards. so maybe it is your style on the pitch that is stopping u from winning. y not go for some balance with a 4-4-2 formation instead of loading 1 side. have obertan and espimas as smfs and then your 2 strikers, u can even try a diamond in the middle of the park with cabaye on top. alsograb some legit subs for your offense and get rid of those yesikov's on your team, a good sub can always change a game.
u have some solid players, now figure out a way to play with them, it ll come with time

your team is completely unbalanced, why do you see the need to load one side with wingers and leave the other side open. if you play a good online player they will exploit that flaw in your line up.
what kind of football are you looking to play in other words what are your tactics. a passing game with good movement or a fast game using the flanks.
first i would drop my defensive line down 1. because of your loosing streak i would change the formation 4-5-1. put two holding midfielders , obertan and espinas on the wings and an attacking midfielder behind the striker. the two holding midfielders and the attacking mid will pass and exploit the space to the flanks and in behind the defence.

dude you are losing because PES 2011 sucks... how can you win if your players run away from the attackers, and when you keeper makes tons of mistakes and when long balls are almost not effective... this game is a disaster

Ha ha. I haven't seen even one GK error in over 300 matches personally, and long balls are too effective IMO. As usual, obviously there are lot's of differing opinions out there so you have to make your own mind up.
One thing I wanted to say is that I don't agree with having only one striker. Personally, I find two so much better because you can maintain some posession in the opponent's end much better and build plays much more successfully.
I agree though that too many forwards can cause a problem, unless your team is stacked. When I'm struggling it is often because I have difficulty building play through the midfield. In other words, the players aren't linking up, so I can't get the ball to my forwards or maintain possession. Cabaye is a good player in the middle of the pitch, but I agree you want to balance things out, get someone on both sides in the midfield (one can be a CMF to provide more support in midfield if you want).
Great move signing Huntelaar btw. He will transform your squad, but again, I wouldn't play him up front on his own. He needs someone to set him up. Personally I use a SS (Luis Garcia) and an AMF (Dempsey who is a great bargain IMO), plus two SMFs and a DMF.
All that being said though, my guess is that your real problems have more to do with attack/def levels as well as any on the fly or auto-applied strategies. These can have a huge impact on the game, especially the attack level. Can you tell us what you're using? Are there any strategies that get automatically applied at different points during the match?
PS - To keep things simple I'll cut to the chase and say that I remove all the auto strategies and turn the attack/def level to off, then adjust it manually on the fly. I keep balance by leaving the attack level low (2 bars) or mid (3) rarely going up to high attack because it leaves you exposed at the back. As for the strategies I am currently resigned to using none, though I have used possession game (offensive), opposite side attack, and a few others with some success in the past. I find the movements flow best with my current team and settings though with it all basically turned off. Something to try anyway.
PPS - Getting really good center backs helped me a lot as well. I currently have Rami and Natali, and I find that makes a difference especially against teams who are stacked with the likes of arshavin, messi, ronaldo, Ibra and Drogba in attack. Without great CBs all it takes is a player to exploit their one or two superstars and you will be dead in the water.
PPPS - IMO you should replace your SBs with similarly priced players who have better suited stats to their position. I really like Diego Perez on RB and someone like Sosa or Dorka on LB. Currently my LB is Luis Gustavo and he's been pretty good.

well i have luis gustavo in holding position 6... let me tell you something, i am in D5 i control the possession in every game i play like 55% 45% sometimes more... i make alot of chances and i always conceded a shitty goal with an error in defense/keeper funny free kicks where all defenders run away from the ball and leave the attacker 1 v 1 with the keeper... and many other shitty goals... this game is dead meat... the biggest joke is when the opponents have a very high defense like in the midfield line lol and they have pressure high so you can see their players running like monkeys for 90 minutes at full speed without getting tired... even my keeper doesnt have space to clear the ball also try to make a long pass behind their defense in the 1 km empty area in their half... they will hunt you down in turbo mode and your player will be breathing like hell not able to run anymore...
come on this game is a joke

Ok, you're totally 100% right. The game is completely unplayable. For you, anyway.
You can continue to moan, but I'm still enjoying the heck out of it. End of.
