When your playing teams that you should beat easily, the thing that i find works is to slow down tempo increase the width and play short passing, the reason for this is the opposition is playing alot of men behind the ball so having a quick tempo and direct passing is making your players give the ball away too much. You need to contol the possesion when playing weaker teams, it's alos helpful to have a quick DC aswell as the opposition will look to get you on a quick counter attack.
I play 4-4-2 and have pretty decent success with it but i find i need to tweak constantly before nd during games depending on the opposition which can be a real pain in the ass.
