    The formation should be OK.
    Hit him down Both flanks, you may be better going Defending/Hard defending if his strikers are much better than your DC's with Force Counter and red arrows on your AML/AMR. passing long, try to take advantage of his own DL/DR being out of position when he attacks, if his DL/DR are holding their positions, switch to mixed/short.

    Difference between his STs and my defenders is about 20%. I didn't want to go defensive coz my midfielders are much better than his so i wanted to hold ball possession. Am i wrong?

    No not at all, the problem being we don't know his tactics, if I see a stronger MF I will by pass it with with long balls from the back to my forwards where my strength is greatest.
    In these sort of cases I prefer to start in a more reserved mentality, knowing I can hit him harder if I have to, you may prefer the reverse.
    It's down to the individual.

    Understood, ty for the support.

    EDIT: I've done as i said, started with normal then scored and went defensive-counterattacking as u said. Scored 3-times again and won 4-1.

    Nice one, you now have the dilemma of; was it the change that secured the win, or would I have won by the same if I'd stuck with Normal.
    It's all trial and error with a **** load of random events thrown in.
    This game gives so little away when we make changes, very little effects possession during the game, tackles and fouls are a joke, shots, shots on target and saves the same.
