Philosophy
In all the former Football Manager series I always downloaded a tactic because i wasn?t a genius in making my own tactic. Since the remove of the sliders and no good tactics available since the Beta release I made my own tactic which I tweaked during all the Beta and all the patches. Since I am a big fan of PSV Eindhoven i made a tactic that suits this squad well. The team has alot of good wingers like Depay, Narsingh, Bakkali and good complete backs like Willems and Arias(hes not that good ). The central defenders Rekik and Bruma are good ball playing defenders. With that idea in mind I made a tactic in the so loved 4-2-3-1 formation with attacking backs and central defenders who not only defend but are also able to send good passes and help build up attacks. With exploiting the flanks and short passing its really fun to watch. I always had like possesions of more then 55- 60 % and had like way more chances then the other teams. You push up your opponent far back and are very dominant. By clicking the expressive play option i give my genial players some extra freedom to express themselves.
I had never the idea to ??release?? this tactic but well it works wonders and not only form y PSV team but also for alot of other teams i had very good results. I tried other popular tactics aswell but except maybe 1 or 2 I had way beter results with my own. By sharing i here i hope others can have this sort of succes aswell with this popular formation. I tweaked the tactic over and over and I think it still can be improved but the latest changes didnt make the formation better so input is really welcome.

The players
The most important positions fort his tactic to work are the wingbacks, wingers and a good and quick advanced forward. The wingbacks should be able to cross decently and go and contribute to an attack. The central defenders should have some decent rating for passing aswell next to the normal attributes. For less good teams or teams who doesnt have such defenders changing them to ??normal?? center backs doesnt hurt the tactic that much. Because I use a high defensive line your central backs shouldnt be too slow aswell for the space behind them. I used Tim Matavz as advanced forward in my first safe but in my opinion he was too slow and when i replaced him with a quicker attacker it went way better.
Results:
Won the title 3 times in a row, won the Uefa Cup the first season, got to the semi final in the champions league second season where i got beaten by Real Madrid on away goals (in group stage i won 2 times), third season I am in the semi final again. I did some small tranfers but still playing with most of the players i started with. Except some regens or replacements i didnt have much money to invest.

says enough i guess
Training and OI?s :
Pre-season i always do teamwork as general training and very high, tactics as match preparation.
During season : Balanced on normal, Attacking movements as match preparation ( for very hard away matches i Use def positioniong)
OI?s i let handle my assistent.
I hope some others players give me some input on the tactic how it worked out for them or have any ideas how to make this formation even more succesfull!
