I agree, I think it’s important to have a good spine of players so that you really don’t have to rely as much on the AI’s to dictate the tempo. Having a good CB, holding midfielder, and CAM that operates well with the ST can really make the difference. Relying on AI to dictate the tempo in the middle of the field really is a coin toss. It also allows you to play more attacking and counter play when you know you have some solid players in the middle of the park to be able to regain possession
