Orders: Mentality Ultra Defensive, Passing Long, Focus Mixed, Pressing Own Half, Tackling Hard, Marking Zonal, Counter Attack Yes, Offside Trap No. Don't know quality of other players, presume they are very strong like 7* or 8*, Likelyhood you will probably lose whatever way you decide to play the match.
Never use both counterattack & Offside Trap together. They counter-act eachother. Genreally use the trap when attacking & opponent isn't strong on attack. Use counter attack when being deffensive & have more than 4 players in your backfield. Also against the 3-2-2-3 you don't need the DMC. You could replace him with an AMC or another striker.
