Usually, yea...
well I can say that I played the last CL match of 1/8 round in defensive mentality and won 0-5 away... (I was proving in friendlies and did not remember to change it)...
But, yeah, I play 95% offensive, the reason is that really my best players are in defense, and with the 8 red arrows I think that I create more options in attack...
Too if I have a counter against I have the 2 DC's or the DL/DR that, as I said, are very effective (because are fast too, high speed 8*) and at same time some MC's help in defense work with red arrow.
And if I have to attack I have the ST's, MC's DR/DL as option so, the game can select lots of players to play with the ball, and lots of players to recive a passing, and too, as always I say, the game never select all players to show their names in comments, so if I don't see a MC/ST during 50', change this for another, and too if I see that a player is more aggresive.
This game is not simply the formation, or good team, too have control of what happen. And maybe thats more important than other things... in my case I've won lots of points thank's a good substitution in the 2nd half..
