counter, defend (if opposite is as good or stronger ..otherwise normal), both flanks if team have no wingers or mix if they have, long balls .. but do mix at times when opposition half is crowded
this work with most tactics i faced
but some started to sit deep and defend in numbers, like put 5 at back with 1 or 2 DMC .. then you need to change to more attacking formation
once a goal or 2 up .. i tend to switch my AMR to RM with up arrow .. this give my mid more domination to kill the game
