I find that the 451 with DMC-MC-MC is one that suits teams on their journey towards higher divisions. By using hardworking central midfielders and quick players upfront, its a great way of being able to compete with better teams.
check your team report and chose a formation that features your best ability players and chose their recommended roles, and then adapt your tactic accordingly...click on each player report, as every player usually does good in more then one role
Pretty much standard but in team tactics, set the passing to 'short' the width to 'narrow' and the tempo 'slow'
