Good Counter tactics
You can try 4-1-4-1 DM with attacking/highly structured mentality similar to bayern's. it works for me when facing bigger teams.

Try it. I have tried with 3 lower division teams (Leeds, Oxford United and N.Sembilan FA) and i have almost the same shots on goal as the bigger opposition. With the right tweaks during play, you will beat them 1-0 or 2-1.
