There's no problem with the link. Just that I can't download it.

I would like to give this a try, but I can't download the file at the moment. Would appreciate it if someone would post team and players instructions. Also, what is mentality and team shape? Cheers!

My results with this tactic half way through the 1st season with Valencia. I've been using the Away tactic in OP for all games. The only modification I've made is that I've switched to using Negredo as F9 (STCR) with no instructions as he was pretty much useless as a DLF with the base...

Yeah, it's an odd one. What team and strikers? To be honest I think it's down to other circumstances than the actual tactic. I do have the occasional rut, where every game is battle. This season my strikers were somewhat 'off' for almost the entire first half, then they suddenly switched on...

Using the tactic that I linked to earlier. The only changes I make is that when I'm up against a good team that takes the game to me, or when I have to defend a lead, is that I add the drop deeper instruction and move the DLP down to DMC-position. If the opposition are one man down I go...

Cheers. It might very well be team quality and reputation which is allowing me to play very attacking. I certainly wouldn't expect this tactic to work so good as is with the starting squad and rep of Aston Villa. There have been a few times where I've been vulnerable to through balls for the...

Finished the season.. well, only got the CL-Final left to play :) :) Looking at the league table it's pretty clear that it's awesome at home and not so much awesome away. However, most of those draws and the 2 losses came during bad runs which all were accompanied by simultaneous goal...

No problem, it's here. I use the counter tactic only at end of games to shore things up.

I decided not to use that. I'm in February and rightback Matt Lowton is oddly enough leading the AVR charts with 7.84. (close to 11 tackles pr game - he has dive into tackle ppm) Alex Telles on the left has 7.54avr, 6.5 tackles and 5 assists in 18 games. On a killer run now since tweaking...

How have you set up the strikers, Treble? Benteke is the only one that seems to work as a CF-s, I suspect it's becouse he has the 'beat offside trap' PPM. So whenever he's out I'm playing a false nine, with mixed results.

Well done! After a run out of form with 4(!) strikers suffering simultaneous goal droughts and opposition scoring a bunch from corners and long throws, I've gone back to the flat 3 center mid. It seems to create all sort of trouble and I'm back to scoring 3-4 goals pr game. I think I'll reserve...

Sure, will do. I'll play out this season while tweaking, then see how it goes for a full season with a proper pre-season.

Alright, I'll still try to tweak it further as I'm very happy with where it's going. There's an interesting thing happening with the anchor man being off to one side. Whenever he has possession and get's closed down it creates a lot of space for the AP against a few formations. Might be worth...

This is indeed a very good foundation for a tactic. I started messing with this yesterday with my Aston Villa side, mixing what you have done with what I've had success with earlier. It quickly turned into the best looking tactic I've had on this patch, not only in terms of goals, but...
