A few questions

You don't know if he's going to be a good performer or not. Your best bet is to look at his current club record and see how well he is doing. If he doesn't have a club well... you just have to chance it.

Question 2 is too vague, you can score with any formation against a far superior team if you set up your orders right. Generally you should play attacking since if you defend you'll probably concede and not attack.

Don't worry about defence. You'll always concede somehow, the game is made to frustrate you lol

Well i run a 4-4-2 / 5-4-1 / 3-5-2. Attacking / threw the middle, short passing ( Mixed if i feel i need it )

And scoring goals is a big thing for me, im behind almost everybody. For example, the top 4 teams including myself played bottom of the league, he concede 43 goals vs 4 teams. One of those goals where mine. I was at home, dominated possession but didnt make any real chances.
