I usually put Tight Marking, Show onto Weaker Foot, and Hard Tackling on any strikers. If the opposition have got a particularly good winger (Ronaldo, for example), then I tend to do the same, trying to basically kick the flair players out of the game. Brutal, but effective (think Wimbledon in the 80's, Sheffield United, Bolton, Blackburn - teams that 'punch above their weight').
Also, I find putting Hard tackling on any booked players a good idea - occasionally they will react, pick up a second booking and get sent off. Depends very much on the player, obviously.
