Orders:

Team Mentality - Defensive
Focus Passing - Though the middle
Pressing Style - Own Half
Tackling Style - Hard
Passing Style - Long
Marking Style - Zonal

Force counterattacks & no offside trap.

Good luck and post your result later!
I forgot to mention, his two CM are beasts (high 7* and an 8*) and are better than my midfielders. I think long balls would be the way to go to lessen the importance of the MF, but in that case shouldn't you aim to play with fewer CMs?
