I use this:
-mentality offensive,
-mixed passing
-pressure in all the field
-normal tackling
-long passing
-zonal marking,
-counter attack and off side active,

If you click on my signature where says team's page, you will see the strategy in 1st page, and too you will see that in my pics I put arrows always in same positions, 2 blue 8 red.
But you have to know every player in your team, so, if one plays well in a place, don't touch. If you have something that for you works well, do it.
Too can be good idea, if the name of a ST or MC don't appear in 50 minutes, change this for another, but all depends of how you know your players mate.
