An interesting pair of tactics from playgm's Beckham1990 (edit link removed, as they are no longer on playgm)
The author has made this tactic as all the player positions are affordable compared to a striker and there is so many decent players for each of them so ideally for clubs who can't afford Haaland. Everyone is involved in the build up and the goals throughout a season.
Formations:
Yitian Third Gen Ultimate
PI's for Yitian
Blue Blood Sword
PI's For Blue Blood
Results
Some results with Espanyol in the third season, average ability of the team being 145CA+
This will mean players are familiar with the tactic, and the players will fit the roles required so be warned if you plug this in and it doesn't work, probably just means you don't have the required players as per any tactic.
Yitian
Blue Blood
Corners
DL takes right corner, DR takes left corner
OIs
Yitian - If the opponent is playing with a LWB, set your RWB to make them tightly.
Blue Blood - No OIs are necessary, but adjustments to the PIs help a lot (as seen below in other information). It is recommended to press any creative/playmakers in the opposition's team.
Other information
Yitian - High priority players are the AMC, AMR and ML if any of these players are not performing during the match, sub them out.
Blue Blood -
Go to the tactics screen, select the player and click Edit, under Instructions, you'll then see the option to Mark Specific Position.
What to Expect:
Solid in defense, and helps the tactics work well in away games.
Enjoyable to watch!
All of the players are capable of scoring and assisting throughout a match - similiar to total football.
Half-plug and play, you can and should make some simple adjustments depending on the match (these adjustments weren't done in the tests, that was purely plug and play).

Other information
Yitian - High priority players are the AMC, AMR and ML if any of these players are not performing during the match, sub them out.
Blue Blood -
If the opponent has no AMC and a lone ST, you need to change the PI of the Libero to mark the ST.
If the opponent has no DM, use the AMC to mark the closest MC (or most creative MC).
If the opponent has more than two DMs use the AMC to mark the most creative DM.
If the opponent uses 3 DC's, ensure the IFs are marking their corolating DL/DR.
If the opponent uses an ML/MR, change your wingbacks to mark them.
If you get a Red card, remove the worst peforming MC.
