Bro! I advised you to start with attacking mentality, normal tackling, pressing whole pitch, no counter and yes offside...I'm sorry it didn't work out for you but I would think results would be different if you had fully fitted players. Also if you don't feel comfortable with my suggestions, then use what you think is best. Using half my idea and half of yours unlikely will do well.
PS. Wana add each other? Maybe we be in the same league next season, you'll love my league
