When running down the wings, use a controlled, low-powered cross into the box for an easy tap-in.
Avoid placing defenders in the midfield or forwards in the backline. Keeping players in their natural roles maximizes their stat output.
A standard 4-1-2-3 or 4-4-2 provides excellent stability between attack and defense. If you prefer heavy offense, try a 3-5-2 or 3-4-3.
