You need to change the way that you play over time as the AI works out how to defeat your tactics. Changing the tempo / directness as variants of your core tactics helps. Playing a bit more route 1 / direct against weaker teams helps overload them and a bit more cautious and slower against the better teams or styles of play. I’ve found these subtle changes to my core 4-2-2-2 in the player roles as well (wide men and the full backs) has elongated the effectiveness of this tactic.
