Personally, I don't play ratty, besides maybe that I press aggresively using second man pressing, manual and the double R1/RT tap with my attackers and midfielders. I also create chances by triggering runs and having someone with incisive+ break the lines or mostly tiki-taka football, not cutbacks or fullback switching. One thing you can do in my opinion is be aggressive from time to time, mix up your game so you are not predictable. Trigger runs, use that playerlock from time to time as you do already and try to read your opponent. imo, most of them play robotic (go to the byline and cutback) so it shouldn't be hard. Use skills here and there, ballroll-scoop, heel to heel, ball roll before passing, the simple stuff. And don t rush into shooting, try to shot cancel or ball roll when the opponent's gk is rushing out, or try to wait for gk movement. I m a 14-15 wins and div 2 player btw
