I'm having more success with the "maintain possession" unticked, because of the lack of goals it gave me. Since I unticked, I'm scoring +4 goals a game! Nice work! I'll try to emulate something like this using only 1 striker, thanks for the inspiration.
I did an experiment for 8 match with same line-up

- Average team shot of untick always more than original but opponent shot is more than original too.
- Possession % original more than untick around 2-5%
I think not retain possession is play more risk pass and it's a two side coin so It will useful when you have better team.
Thank you for sharing !
