Narrow pitches favour Direct passing, Wide pitches favour short passing.

For example, a Narrow pitch would suit a team like Chelsea who have the strength in their midfield to push through the middle when they go forward.
also,if you are using a narrow pitch,you can use tactics with 3men in line with more success.as 4-3-3 ,or even 4-1-2-1-2(no wingers).

but if you choose wide pitch,it is better that you use 4men in line tactics.as 4-4-2,3-5-2,4-5-1...

it's up to you,just choose dimensions for your stile of play.
new lad here :P

i have a good possesion football, but it depends, if i set the mentality abit more attacking then it goes better, but if i tick counter attack and a bit defensive then i might not have that much possesion.

it also depends on what kind of oppenents u get.

i usually play with a 4-4-2(diamond)=4-1-2-1-2.
simple:
GK
RB, CB, CB, LB
------DM
RM----------LM
------AM
ST, ST

with CB's and DM set defensive and LB RB defensive(but not much), the rest are attacking. what i get with this formation is that the DM come stays around half way line when i got the ball in the opposition half, he comes forward at times, as i have set forward runs mixed.
that means if the ball is cleared he is usually there to pick it up.
the AM is a free role player, with the both ST changing positions which each other, and the RM LM go into the penalty area at times, just happens dont know why, its good though(especially if one of ur winger has "cuts inside"). and the fullbacks helping out upfront.

u got to have most of ur players with passing abilty above 15, my DM and AM controll most of the play.
