Line of engagement vs. opposition instructions: press or not to press?

[goalash]

Case study:

My team is leading the league very comfortably. My forwards - AML, SC, AMR, in some cases also an AMC - are not great at pressing opponents. Their Bravery, Work Rate and Stamina is not great.

Yet, in come cases the tactical standpoint nearly screams for a high press: either while playing a weak team or a team with defenders often losing posession and not having a great season in general.

So: I don’t really have the players to press, but it makes all the sense to press at the very moment.

Approach A: I set the opposition instructions to Close Down More on my targets of choice AND raise the Line of Engagement to High Press (only if I’m pressing at least 2 enemy defenders).

Approach B: I set the opposition instructions to Close Down More, but keep the Line of Engagement at Mid Block.

I’m super keen to hear your thoughts.

I don't know in game, but approach B is a little bit counter productive for me. Your players are not the best for pressing and you ask them to cover long distance for doing it.

Approach A is more logical.
