For my own game where I brought Bath to the PL, I basically used a lot of counter-attacking and drop deeper at the start of each game, especially against the bigger teams (and by bigger teams I meant mid-table sides and better).
After we managed to get a run of results (draws and the odd 1-0 against the odds win), I would sometimes mix in control against the smaller sides.
I don't think I ever went beyond control for the entire season. Even with that conservative approach, I still got hammered on occasion (bloody Man City smashed me 6-1).
Pace is important at the higher level as well I think. I also had Troy Brown in my game but he was too slow to cut it (it might be different in your game of course!).
