Defending style:
Attacking style:
Attakcing style:
For attacking, it is normal for fullbacks to overlap, so if using flanks, they should be on support duty. Which means exploiting the middle. However, with players cutting inside, you need to occupy opposition's DM, or he will be free to deal with your inside forward. That player will be bypassed by direct balls, so you should play shorter passing to keep him involved. It is important to give more creativity to your attacking players, as your aim is to score, but also keep a solid defence since most of your players are bent on attacking.
Defending style:
Here you want to frustrate opposition. You need more defensive players to endure the pressing, so sticking to position and discipline is of greater importance. Most matches you will draw, or win 1:0. Maybe 2:1 if you make a mistake in defending. This is a very risky style to use from beggining of the match but useful when you want to waste time and preserve a lead.
