Slight tweaks in your tactics works, don't overhaul them though. The AI learns your tactic as the game goes on so they are bound to counter it after using the same tactic against a team more than 2/3 times.

Should I maybe remove DMC from my tactics and play 4-4-2 with wingers and get a partner for Cardozo (Neymar?)
how should i play them upfront?

I'd play a more attacking formation with a team like Benfica, maybe just use a Ball winning midfielder. Just push the DMC position to CM [Ball winning midfielder - Support] and go overload when playing evidently weaker teams but revert back to just attacking against Porto/Sporting/Braga..

This is my tactic dont you think it is attacking enough?

I was thinking of removing Garcia and adding another striker but Im not sure if that would make it too offensive?

As I said, don't make changes that big so quick, it may take your team a while to get used to the new set-up, slowly rotate the formation around or make another slot on your Match Prep screen with the formation you'd like to use so when you do eventually change it, it will be easier for the players to become accustomed to playing with. Try pushing Garcia inbetween Ganso and Martinez and playing him as a ball winning midfielder, support.
