Yesterday i just won against someone who played like this, all of his players are 5 starts. Use:

-----ST-----
AML------AMR
--MC-MC-MC--
---------------
DL--DC--DC--DR


Normal mentallity, all pitch, passing throught the flanks, hard tackling and man on man and i can promise you you'll win
put red arrows on AML and AMR, DR and DL.
