However, I also really wanted to try the tactic with a side that wasn`t considered the top one in its own league. That is how I ended up picking Southampton from the Premier League. Expected to finish 17th, I managed to qualify for the Champions League just in my first season.

SHAPE IN GAME
With the Ball


Without the Ball

With Panathinaikos, a top team in the Greek League, I use a higher defensive line, as the level of the opponents is lower. I suggest using a standard defensive line with mid and underdog teams.
Have a good one and enjoy the game !
