FC25: Switching players L1/LB without ball (defending mode)

The switching between players while defending (without the ball) is in my opinion really weird. I often end up with the wrong player being selected, also there seems a delay in switching. And sometimes the selected player switch back to another player. This is totaly confusig at times when the pressure is high. I need to switch in a fast pace. But the current system can't keep up so it seems. I tried various options / settings for switching players, but none seem to have the right effect. Does anyone have advice to have the most logic switching for players without ball? Or is this just a bug in FC25. Also I often hold the sprint button while switching. Is this causing any problems in combination with the L1/LB button?

I play FC25 on the PC with a NACON gamepad.
