Passing
Before any passing suggestion, you need to remember to check completed passes % during the match. If it is around 80% or less (after 10-15mins, not in 1st 5min), then change passing settings.
FOCUS
-mixed: against balanced formations like classic 442
-through flanks: against formations with 2-3 wingers (narrow formations with strong centre)
-through middle: against formations which have 1 or 2 central mildfielders (not only MC, also AMC and DMC counted). In this case my counter formation usually has 3-4 central mildfielders.

IMO, % completed pass đi not accurately reflect the quality of passing, it's mean : 83-85%: mix pass / >95% shot pass / 79% < long pass
Im alway take through mix and pass mix, i let the player choose the right on each situation.

I noticed some formations have a * after them. What does it mean?

[nikolgiorgos]

I checked them and doesn't look it means anything.
Must be something from copy/paste (from somewhere else)

[Buster Keaton]

maybe you are right copy/paste

[gizzmo]

To my opinion, it means "may work but not completely confirmed". I try to avoid these.
