4-5-1 flat , 4-1DMC-4-1 , or any defensive formation you can use based on your current team .
If the opponent have faster attackers than your defend , press on your own half don't play offside trap .
If you have faster defenders than his attackers , press on whole pitch and play offside trap .

If you want to play-it-safe , use mentality of defensive/hard defending with force-counter attack .
For passing focus you should really (i strongly recommended) mixed .
