This is not me saying your wrong, its just my opinion.
For me your Poacher has way too much creative freedom, I personally like to see a poacher not more than 6 clicks in with little creative freedom. He is also tracking back a little to far so chances are when I does get the ball he is not central. He is just there to score goals so you don't want him being to creative and to far out of position for when you launch a counter attack.
For me your midfield three (cm, cm, dcm) is not diverse enough, I think you should maybe try defence, support, attack with something like anchor, cm support & ap attack. Without the ball you should retain your 4-1-4-1 shape but with the ball your ap attack will look to bridge the gap between your poacher and the midfield.
If your wide midfielders have good engines and determination maybe (if they can) play them more advanced but as Defencive winger supports with a man marking roll, just make sure their attacking mentality is not so much they don't track back.
And as Defencive wingers if set right they play and position themselves similar to Wide mids.
This in conjunction with the advanced playmaker making more runs forward will help you move the ball better by giving each options to pass too. Try to create some passing triangles.
Team instructions I can't argue with, so similar to my strategy it is spooky. But there a few subtle differences.
I play rigid counter so that the default unticked defencive line is deeper meaning I can control this via shouts.
I also untick width and start the match playing with the play narrower shout, this with the deeper defencive line should make you tight and compact and very hard to pass through, usually opponents shoot long and get frustrated. They may try to exploit the flanks so this is why a motivated winger is important, to try and prevent 2 on 1's Vs your fullbacks.
And with that in mind I'd leave closing down on default for both the fullbacks and for team instructions but the wingers set to close virtually the whole pitch, again all helping to maintain a defencive 4-1-4-1 shape.
Oi's, if there is a weakness to this it is most likely on the flanks so I'd set both the opponents fullbacks and wide/attacking wingers to be shown inside unless they themselves are cutting in, if so then show the wingers down the line onto hopefully their weaker foot.
Pick the weakest central defender (passing, composure, 1st touch) set you poacher to man mark and close down often.
Helps two fold, it keeps the poacher central and can make the defender rush his pass and maybe turn the ball over to your team.
