How to get the most of my team?

[vvincc]

Hi guys, few questions.

1. How can I get the most of this team? As you can see on the picture below, 4 of my 5 key players are 3 defenders and the first-choice goalkeeper, what style of play do you recommend in this case?

2. Next I want to put some key players which I want to focus my whole tactic around, how can I get the most of them, which style of football do you think can get the most of them?

a. Rubén Pulido - D(RC) This is clearly my best player is an excellent defender, but has low techinque, vision and dribbling.

 

b. Miguel Loureiro - D/WB (R) This guy is a beast physically but has big limitations on the techinque and mental side of the game.

 

c. Darío Poveda - S(C) he is my best striker by far, has a great hold up play with the balance and strenght but he lacks of jumping reach that why idk if it will be good to play him as a target man.

thanks in advance.

I came up with this, the board ask me to play solid defensive football and to make the most of set pieces.

Perhaps play narrow aswell as there is only two wide players? 

Four defending roles can make them struggle to score sometimes. I noticed a difference for the better when I went down to three defending in 4231, but of course thats another system.

I thought the same about the width, but the formation is already narrow, I think that playing even narrower could lead to an overkill, beside that, I tick play through the middle often. Watching the highlights in full mode I found that my build-up start from the middle and when I find any of the AMC the play develop into a pass into space or to feet to the wingbacks who cross or dribble, but always we end with crosses or shoots from outside the penalty box.

Defensively I´ve found really solid when we play agressive defending (pushing from the back, trigger pressing more often, trapping inside, steping up).
