set the ticket to 1/3 of the maximum, and set bonus to maximum. Another desperate trick is spend 2 tokens and set the time to the time he will miss the match gaining extra 8%, however, up to you, the most important is still how you perform.

I use full pitch pressing and offside trap. The reason I use MR/ML instead of AMR/AML because MR/ML can help defend and balance the space between the players, utilizing short passing into more possession. Don't worry too much, make sure moral are high since after losing 3-1, some players form and moral have dipped.
