It's been successful as I climbed from 11th in the table to 6th rather quickly vs all kinds of formations

I use defensive,focusing passing down the flanks, mixed passing, and force counter attacks.

Should I use long passing since I have such a gap between dmc's and amc's?
dont thinks its a must. i am using same tactics and also tried the difference between long and mixed passing and i didnt realize much changes. but always use passing down flanks since the most ppl in the game are going for central formations. i also realized that my mc's dmc's and amc's have not as good ratings as my wing players or strikers in general. idk if this is normal but i have the feeling that it is better to not use too much players in the middle.
