Im hoping to create a possession tactic. I use the following tactic as an attacking one, and I tweak a few things depending on the opposition, but my base tactic is as follows.

It is generally very successful at home, and away against most teams. But, few questions:
can anyone suggest some simple away game tweaks?
Am I doing it wrong? Since there are few tooltips or help in game, I have no idea if some of my instructions are contradictory, or just flat out wrong for my desired style. So im looking for any basic tips on my tactic.
Should I be shooting for 65% possession? Is possession an effective tactic even in FM. Does it tire out opposition players like it should? Frustrate them? What impact does playing with the ball 65% of the time have on the opposition team. What about my own team?
Also, ignore the team selection, the shot was taken after a Europa League match, so its my B team.
