Hey guys.
Im new here, and I registered here just to share my tactic which I have had huge success with through 1 season with Man Utd.
I tried a lot of tactics before I hit the right one, and restarted pre-season numerous times, until I got the right "feeling" and proceeded.
As a tradition, I always start with Man Utd. Obviously they have a huge budget which gave me a lot of space to bring in the players I wanted to.
Shortly summarized; I won all the competitions ( PL, CL, FA, LC) I participated in relatively easily and produced some remarkable results against top sides.
My philosophy was to dominate games with skills, combinations and get the best out of talented technical players. It is important for me that the players with attributes to do the non-expected, actually get all the space and tools needed to excel.
Basically, this is my tactic.

The player instructions were very important for me as well, as I strived to get all my offensive players to perform without taking over each others space, and to do it you need to keep it simple in midfield. The fullbacks, especially the right fullback, were also of huge importance as an offensive force.
The roles :
K : De Gea obviously is one of the best goalies in the world and did a great job.
LB : Shaw (Criscito as backup) (fullback-support). A little more defensively minded than my RB, as I use an Inside forward with attacking mentality on the left side. Important to not let to much space behind you.
Limited defender : Smalling (Jones, Balanta) Keep it simple here, as the RB is very offensively minded. He won't try overambitious passes, but mostly leave the job to the midfield.
Defender: Benatia (Rojo) A more dominating force in defense than his partner. Important to have a regular here that reads the game well.
RB (wingback) Mario Fernandes. This guy has been sensational for me and provided with 18 assists through the season with a 8.16 average. With his great dribbling (16), crosses and work rate, I truly believe this guy is one of the best options in the game.
DM (Regista) Schweinsteiger ( Carrick ) This guy is the glue in the team. The one that will play through the opposition midfield and deliver the ball effectively to the attacking force in the team. To get the best out of him, you need players around him that will do the dirty job and cover spaces defensively and offensively. Schweini has become my own Pirlo.
CM (Central midfielder - attack) Herrera ( Barkley) You will want to have an allround good midfielder that has the intelligence and work rates to go on runs and be a threat every now and then, while he also needs to keep it simple in passing, so the regista can dominate.
CM (Central midfielder - defense) Schneiderlin (Jones, Carrick) Very important to have a midfielder with good defensive attributes, as big part of his role is to cover up the space the RB leaves behind him with his high pressure style.
LW (Inside forward - attack) Depay (Martial, Luan) All of these three guys have been absolutely outstanding for me. With the rest of the team being setup the way it is, they get a lot of space and often come in 1 vs 1 situations.
AM (Shadow-striker - attack) Mata (Rooney, Luan) This guy have the luxury of keeping the ball longer and going out of position to be creative as possible. It is alpha-omega that this player has good technical qualities and a nose for goals as well. Preferably a left-footed player.
S (False nine) Kane (Barbosa) Both these guys have been sensational for me, linking greatly with the other offensive players.

A big part of my philosophy is to rotate the players and try to keep everyone fit and fresh through the whole season.
Basically, I have made to starting 11s that will relieve each other every other game, unless I need my best starting 11 to play a good side.
I also let my players rest both before and after a game. I actually have a feeling that I have prevented a lot of injuries with this tactic. Also, it is a great opportunity for young talented players to get the match time they need to develop.
Training :
Train every player in the position you will play them. If they complain about to little/much training, adjust. I have kept team training on balanced. More match training until they have a full understanding of the tactic, and keep it in the "middle" when that is achieved.
I have top class coaches at any area, and I will fully recommend Bruno Conti as an assistant manager, for those who can convince him. The guy is a genius, and I let him take care of most of the OI and team talk.

If you decide to try this tactic with a good team, I will guarantee you a lot of goals, great combination-football and outstanding offensive football. I finished the PL with 107 goals and only 25 goals against me, and having the by far best goal difference.
I lost 1-0 to City away after a 88 min penalty after dominating the whole game, a shocking loss to Bournemouth 2-1 away, and I also lost the last game in the PL, when the 1. place already was secured, and I gave some of the U-18 kids the chance. Other than that, the performances has been very consistent. I used my second best 11 through the whole group stage in CL, and also in several PL games. Even in the 3-2 win over Leverkusen in the CL-semi.

I haven't tried the tactic with less good teams, but for any top 4 side, I recommend it strongly.
I hope you enjoy the tactic and reply me your experiences with it if you succeed. Sorry for my english.
