To win against tightly-packed defence, the key is either being more defensive than them (hard defending, so they will push up and leave space behind) or use a few attackers to push defenders back and win by quality advantage in midfielders (normal via flanks, with wide forwards placed behind fullbacks, so midfielders have AML+C+R areas to fire long shots), or simply overload AMC area (attacking via middle, AMC at default position plus AML & AMR placed aligned with AMC with both close to AMC region, plus 1 ST placed close to GK to pull defenders away - let him go offside and winning is by him attracting defenders).

See if it works for you?
thx for reply and advice

yeah i already try that, using many defenders, many midfielders, the problem sometimes that teams with less def with many attackers (like 3-1-2-3-1 or 3dc) play better than original defensive/hard defensive formation with proper drilled defender (well i dont have much problem with original defensive formation), that is sooo frustating, everytime i face them its like im playing a lotto ticket, and yes ofc oppo upfront is mutant, not so mutant but still mutants.
i even try to train my defenders and GK , but still... the outcome, i feel like a dumbo and wasting greens in the end to train my defenders lol.

they everywhere like cancer, i dont know how to handle them properly , maybe ill go with many attackers with long pass than playing lotto in next season. maybe its time to play 2 st meta, cuz teams like that is everywhere, anyone success with 2 st? good formation with 2Strikers to counter those mf mourinho style hard defensive maniac
