The below setting is what I use for the relegation battlers:
Build Up
Speed: 40 (the pace of the build up, not the players)
Passing: 85 (this means lots and lots of long ball)
Positioning: Organised
Chance Creation
Passing: 30 (they would play only safe passes, no risky passes at all)
Crossing: 80 (would keep trying for opportunities to cross)
Shooting: 55 (normal, sometimes they shoot, sometimes they pass)
Positioning: Organised
Defence
Pressure: 35 (won't go looking for the ball)
Aggression: 75 (they'll break your ankles and get sent off)
Team width: 20 (you won't find too much space or gap between the defenders)
Defender Line: Cover (only useful when it uses a defender in midfield or further but it wont)
Set it up this way, play the game and let us all know.
