Used it for Villa.

First season worked pretty well, led club scoring charts with 102 but conceded a lot and lost too many, but finished 6th so I was happy.

Start of the 2nd season I've had to drop it :( Haven't won in my first 6 and have conceded a lot. I think it suits the big creative teams brilliantly but doesn't seem to work that well with Villa
 
For me the 11.3 version of the tactic didn't really workout. I was playing as Newcastle so it was quite possibly due to an overall poor squad.
The tactic itself has times of playing well, but I find the 2 central midfielders don't really do much and they loose the ball alot, the central defenders also seemed to get pulled out of position on a regular basis and this lead to some very silly goals being conceded.
Again though it could be the lack of good players in my team of choice, so perhaps it doesn't work for lower reputation teams that lack the skill and quality that the tactic needs.

I'd like to see the tactic develop some more as this is only a beta and that needs to be remembered...it's a work in progress, so I'll be interested to see how it fairs when it is the final version.

Whats' the name of the skin? :)
 
First of I wanna congratulate Satorox for this very good tact.

I already used this type of tactic with Spurs and had some pretty nice results. Many goals scored + few conceded, but results weren't so expressive. So I decided to test this one to compare and see if it was really that good.
Well, vs Barcelona I won 2-1 in CL, vs Wolves got a fantastic 10-0 for PL. Will post more results soon with screens too.

I just wanna tell you some tips that might be helpful:
- 2 guys upfront should have reduced creativity in order to finish better 1on1
- you shall have 4 players marking tall man in corners
- aim corners to far post and put your best player in heading+jumping+strength (normally CB) at the far post
- if having too many blocked shots change passing style to direct

One last question: there is any possibility on making this tact on the normal way? In my opinion this tactic may work a lot with field instructions during the game specially if you want to "retain possession" + "take a breather" when winning 4+ or "work ball into box" if you're wasting too much shots of target.
 
first game, with this tactic, after i used three, and now i won 4-0, with SPORTING CP (H)

Im playing patch 11.3 with a crummy side with bad defense.
What is the best tactic to use?

The original Man U one, or the 11.3 test or the Pama?
 
Hi friends. I would like to check something, because im playing Brazilian Championship with Palmeiras (Middle team in brazil) and when i play versus a good team i always lose. (0-4, 0-3, 2). version 11.3 im using devasto II default.

sorry my poor english. :P
 

I'm using this tactic for 11.3 with Malmö FF in swedish Allsvenskan and I'm having great results. After playing 20 league games I have 46 points, scoring 49 goals and only giving 14 up and leading by 5 points. Ahmed Soukouna is really tearing the defences up scoring 10 goals and having 13 assists on 15 games.

As the MCs Im playing two relatively defensive midfielders and next to Soukouna a quick striker. I haven't been following the directions absolutely but the results have come still. In a game versus a top team I got a man sent off after 5 mins and gave up a corner goal after 8 mins - then turned it around for a 7-2 win. =)
 
I adapted this tactic for my Gloucester 4-1-2-1-2 tactic. It seems to be working great, even without wingers. I am currently 3rd midway through the season after ending up 14th the season before.

34 goals so far in 22 matches.
 
I didn't think you could make a better tactic, than your 11.2 version, but i was wrong. Your 11.3 is a masterpiece. With some set piece adjustments, most defensively, i have won the league with FCN in DK. And that was in first season. Seeded 7th, but in reality they are a worse team than that. Check out the current standings IRL in Denmark if you don't believe me.
SS of the fantastic accomplishment: http://img6.imageshack.us/i/superligaeninformationlf.png/
