Attack wins matches,defense wins championships!

[Tactician]

Usually in defensive formations, the setpiece is your main source of goals.

It seems so in this game, especially when you use 4-5-1(V) with defensive and force counter-attack orders. Free-kicks and corners are the main sources of goals, especially when you have the appropriate specialists.

One possible reason is that when your team counter-attacks an opponent, his defensive players are more likely to make fouls to stop your attackers or put the ball out of play as these situations are most likely one-on-ones or a similar amount of players for each team in the opposing half during the counter-attack.
