    I just briefly share my approach for your reference.

    For matches against teams with similar power, I suggest using your usual tactic, or just being slightly conservative than usual. I don't recommend changing the formation radically if you seldom do so because this may harm chemistry of your team. I prefer watching these matches, and make timely changes to handle well playing players of opponent, or exploiting weakness of opponent.

    For matches against teams with similar power, objective is damaging the normal attacking flow of opponent. Defensive formation like 4-1-4-1, 4-5-1, or 3n-2(DMR/DML)-3-2 usually adopted (certainly, the formation is not necessarily symmetric). I will try to put players to mark opponents' star player especially high number scorer. If such player is less active, opponent's ability to score can be greatly reduced. In last 20 minutes, my team may be turned to more attacking to try to steal the game. If my team trailed behind, I will keep patient if there is much time left, but my team will be turned to attacking earlier than usual.

    I actually mean playing against stronger team in 2nd case. I am sorry that I find that I recently made even more mistakes than usual on writing replies.
