Mate just play a rigid 4-4-2, play a average d-line so your not to deep or too pushed up. Have one of your midfielders set to defence one click above cb's mentality and the other supporting attacks. 2 wingers and a fast striker pounce on through ball, long balls over the top and the other striker complete forward support let him roam and give some freedom. This is how I got sheffield Wednesday to the prem back to back promotions and first season in the prem finished 6th with an average team keeping it tight not asked to do things they aren't capable of doing.
