I agree - but check for good and bad if his DL -DR are scoring (maybe he uses red arrows to them).
3DC +2DMC +2MC + AML- AMR +ST
for more attacking (only if you 're desperate) > 3DC +1DMC+ 2MC +AML/C/R +ST (mix now).
the problem with the higher q/lv teams is that even they have worst stats (b.p. , shots) they have a "hidden" better efficiency and your players tend to get cards.
So better avoid hard tackling, only hard defense, bonus defense and don't forget the cheap/low win bonus.
