If we avoid the usual suspects such as Man U, Inter, Milan, Barca, Arsenal etc etc and focus on the unused yet worthwhile.
Here is a top 5 easy to adapt to "poorer" teams.
1. Sevilla. They are good in attack and decent enough defensively. Best way to play is 4-4-2.
2. Roma. One of my favourites to combat the big teams. Get rid of the 4-5-1 straight away and use a 4-4-2 with a defesive midfielder and Totti attacking almost a SS if you will. Season this with wingers and the attacking options are quite fatal.
3. Newcastle. Pace is the key. Owen and Martins up front then in Midfield play some creative players like Emre and Solano who are able to play cunning passes for the exploits of pace. Defence can be troublesome but you can even go 5-3-2.
4. PSV. Play 3 up top with some pace and this could be a success.
5. Valencia. Villa is a top striker and with some clever midfielders to choose from this could prove a winning combination.
Another team I have learnt to use and who I oddly enough win with is St Ettiene.
Country wise when some knob hole picks Brazil counter it with one of the strong and pacey African Nations. Nigeria or Ivory work best for me.

Don't play just one match and expect miracles, you must get inside them and understand exactly how they work. Become the team. Dependant on your style and how you like to play is up to you but tell me your preffered style and I will tell you who out of those 5 to pick and what formation and players to use. Then when I do that play 4 or 5 games and let me know how you feel.

Seems as if Newcastle would suit you Sir. Basically two speedy front men with the option of a target man and then Emre playing a kind of play maker role.
Defence as I say is suspect but your best bet is 4 in defence with a DMF just in front. Now here is how I would line up defence:
GK: Given
CB: Taylor
CB: Cacapa
RB: Ramage (Just because I can't stand Carr, play him if you like)
LB: N'Zogbia
Now Given is a good PES keeper and has no real question marks over him. Taylor provides your height and Cacapa is a decent enough CB. N'Zogbia can push forward and plays well attacking but can be suspect defending wise.
Midfield is a diamond shape with DMF and AMF. Like this:
DMF: Geremi. He can play some good balls and is OK sitting in amongst the defence. Also good Set pieces.
RMF: Solano. I like him and he is useful.
LMF: Duff. Pace and quite good at getting into the box to assist.
AMF: Emre. Good passer and can chip in with goals.
Up front play Owen and Martins. If you need some height Viduka is ideal. Play Martins on the left and slightly further behind Owen.
Formation:
--------------------------------Given--------------------------------
--------------------Taylor----------------Cacapa--------------------
Ramage-----------------------------------------------------N'Zogbia
-------------------------------Germi--------------------------------
----------Solano--------------------------------------------Duff----
-------------------------------Emre--------------------------------
----------------------------------------------Martins---------------
------------------------Owen---------------------------------------
So as you can see Owen is quite high up and his assist givers options are plentiful. The left side is a very useful outfit.
However good Newcastle are on the attack the Defence can frustrate so as an alternative that may suit you try Roma. Now they have a great player who will benefit you in Totti but in attack theoptions are limited. The way I play is a 4-4-1-1 kind of with Totti as a SS.
GK: Doni.
CB: Mexes.
CB: Juan.
RB: Panucci.
LB: Tonetto.
Now already you can see that is tougher than the Toon.
CMF: De Rossi. Play him on the D nearest to your defence in the middle.
RMF: Perrota.
LMF: Mancini.
AMF: Giuly.
Midfield for Roma have some good players and it's just about finding what you like. This is how I approach games with the Romans.
Totti SS and Vucinic CF.
Formation:
-------------------------------Doni---------------------------------
--------------------Mexes---------------Juan-----------------------
---Panucci----------------------------------------------Tonetto----
--------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------De Rossi-------------------------------
----------Perotta----------------------------------------Mancini----
---------------------------------------------Giuly------------------
-------------------Totti--------------------------------------------
--------------------------------Vucinic-----------------------------
Play Perotta slightly in field compared to Mancini. As you can see Totti will be the man who will orchestrate most of the great things the team achieves.
Give them a try and see how you like them. Obviously try a few games and mix up the midfields slightly to adapt to your methods.
Good luck.
