Lots of corners, free kicks and of course counters.
When I play JUST Offensive against a good team nothing happens. Mostly my team is trying to create spaces and they fail, get alot of shoots from distance that also they fail.
Against a weaker team doesn't really matter , I dominate quite hardly despite my tactics as long the formation is solid.

I've played against teams that they did not manage to counter me almost the entire match but they do have that KEY player in their squad that makes me crazy. Seems like everytime they touch the ball , those particular players manage to squeeze into my defence and get a goal or an assist.
Not the case for my team unfortunatelly
Playing offside while countering contradict each other, imo. It's basically sitting deep but keeping a straight line outside your box.

I never play offside when opponent has better strikers than my defenders. I use it when I am 1. Attacking/press whole pitch and 2. The better side.

I counter when my formation is defensive, my opponent is better and when i need to open up a stubborn defence.
