Alternate tactics for playing against stronger teams

[Grattade07]

Generally I like to play a high pressure game against teams that are weaker than me but it's probably wise to have a tactic to go to when playing teams like Man City or Chelsea.

The first screenshot is my regular tactic and the second one is my first attempt at setting up to be a bit more solid and hit teams on the counter (All players aren't in the positions they'd play in the match)

In first two matches that I used the counter tactic I scored a goal but the team only managed to take 4 shots a match. My initial thoughts are that it might be that I'm being a bit too passive and so aren't creating enough opportunities to shot.

Is there anything screaming out to anyone that would need tweaks to make the team a bit more of a threat?

Your secondary tactic is still fairly attacking. Positive mentality and high DL set a base for a high block. Basically you can keep your first tactic and just remove Counter-press and lower the DL and LOE to have a more cautious tactic.
