Beyond stacking the defense, using defensive bonus, and basically trying to limit the goal differential, any tips or ideas on how to keep this close? I'm thinking 5 defenders (or 4 and a DMC all the way back, though I feel like that's a waste), play hard defending and rely on counters to try and snag a goal?
Open to any ideas here, I hate to give up before the game is played but this guy is managing with his credit card.
