I just clog up my half of the pitch.
Play 4 in the back, all with forward runs off.
2 in front of them and between the mids (a combo fast D and/or DM) with forward runs off and hard tackling.
3 mids with if possible a DM in the center forward runs off/ hard tackling. 2 on the side have run with ball always/ forward runs normal
1 up front with forward runs and run with ball always with a barrow.
Team mentality is normal, tempo is pulled back a bit, time wasting set to always. Sometimes use counter attack as well.
Always seems to work for me
