Defence

Position the centre-backs in the box to mark tall players and move the wing-backs near the edge of the box to create pressure on the opposition. Midfielders who have decent defensive stats could be used to cover the areas right in front of the centre-backs.

Position a striker or pacey winger near the halfway line to catch the opposition off-guard on a break.

Offence

Set-up an offensive throw-in tactic if your team has a player who possesses good stats for long distance throws, else, play it short and try to whip the ball into the box with a driven cross.

Position three defenders, including two central defenders near the halfway line so that they provide a solid defence to neutralise a counter-attack.

One wing-back could be allowed to move forward into a deep crossing role. However, one should balance this a clever opposition will break from the side the gap is left open by the full-back.

Players who are good at shooting from a distance could be employed outside the box while the strikers and attacking midfielders are most effective at close range.
