Defensive mentality (and defensive tactics in general) not being particularly viable in FM is one of the biggest flaws in the match engine at the moment - Direct Counters can work, see Mustermann's Sampdoria videos for evidence of that, but the likes of Mourinho and Conte's tactical systems should be just as viable. They're some of the most successful coaches around after all!
Long throws may not be the most important stat, but it can be extremely useful. I typically played retain possession on all throw-ins but changing my attacking throw-ins to long throws has resulted in more scoring chances.
Defensive challenge! I’m trying a save using the catennacio preset and defensive mentality. In Italy, of course. I haven’t gotten far but the first 2 matches did not go well. 😆
