I'm enjoying this tactic. I got Leeds promoted to the Premier League in my first season and am currently in 10th place halfway through the second season, with only three new players and not much money to spend.
I started a new game on 15.2 with Leeds and my AMC is working well. I lost the opening game of the season when the team was still getting familiar with the tactic, but since then it's nine wins out of nine and my AMC (Adryan) has scored 6 and assisted 4 in those 10 games.
So no complaints here!
