Please help me with the qualifier tactics

[Icy]

Well after two season finishing #2 in VI, i really need the promotion to V. My midfield is more than enought, my supports grow sloly because i have a lot for that category etc, so i think that another year in V won't benefit me as this last one did.

Here is the team i'll play against and here is his last home match:

BOIRO
Player rating and Team formation

Team Attitude:	(Hidden)
Tactic:	Counter-attacks
Tactic skill:	formidable
Midfield:	weak (low)
Right Side Defence:	excellent (very high)
Central Defence:	excellent (low)
Left Side Defence:	excellent (very high)
Right Side Attack:	weak (very low)
Central Attack:	wretched (low)
Left Side Attack:	disastrous (very high)

Here is my last away one where i did PIC:

Swamioms FC
Player rating and Team formation

Team Attitude:	Play it Cool
Tactic:	Normal
Tactic skill:	(no tactic)
Midfield:	weak (high)
Right Side Defence:	weak (low)
Central Defence:	weak (very high)
Left Side Defence:	inadequate (low)
Right Side Attack:	inadequate (low)
Central Attack:	weak (high)
Left Side Attack:	inadequate (high)

I have PICed my last two games so my midfield should be better as i will MOTS. He plays 5-4-1 and his offense is bad, but his defense is good, he uses counter attack. I use 3-5-2 without any special tactic.
Do you guys recomend me anything to have more chances to beat him?
Thanks in advance.

With that awful offense of his, I would be surprised if you lost. I think if you play your usual style, you should be fine.

hmm, not so sure. Icy doesn't have a huge midfield advantage and his offense compares poorly to Boiro's defense. Icy will have trouble scoring. On the other side, the CA could end up being a killer.

Having said that, I would still probably play your 3-5-2 normal. I'd play almost players in offensive mode though, from your wingers to wingbacks and midfielders also...

Oh, and this is probably obvious, but don't forget to MOTS of course...

As fff said, my main concern is my offense, will be hard for me to score, while he can pickup a counter attack and score. My Midfield ratting should be better than the last one as i PICed there and now i'll MOTS after two PICs.
