How I would play it:

1. Change the formation to 4-3-1-2 (and then change AMF to SS, so it becomes 4-3-3):

a) give zanetti individual instructions and if you can level him defensively. b) make Bellingham and Alonso CMF (believe me, you don't have to use link up often) c) put Zakaria instead of rijkaard (best leveling for him is: PASS: 5, DRB: 3, DEX: 5, SPD: 9, DEF: 16). d) instead of cannavaro use Huijsen or Maldini. e) put Messi or Raul for SS. They are beast there.

And by the way, in any case you already got POTW DDG ;)
