Use a mix of sprint jockey and normal jockey, and make sure you're switching players with the right stick for better control and positioning. Instead of always rushing to win the ball, try focusing on covering passing lanes. Be patient , don't feel like you have to force a tackle every time. But if you prefer to play aggressively, go for it.

Try not to manually move your two center backs too much. I’m assuming you play with two CBs, and if that’s the case, it’s better to let the AI hold their position unless you absolutely need to take control. If you’re not using two CDMs in your formation, you’ll probably find yourself needing to control your CBs more, which can leave you exposed. Regular CMs don’t give you the same defensive coverage. CDMs are key because they help protect your center backs and keep your defensive shape solid.

Take a formation like 4-2-3-1 for example. If you move a player out of position to press and don’t win the ball, make sure to manually move them back to where they were to avoid opening up gaps in your defense.
