I started using your tactic with Everton after selling barkley and buying cca 15 new players because i thought the team to be a little thin in depth. Bearing that in mind and the media prediction of 7 i must say your tactic is faring pretty well if not a bit inconsistent(in my case) . I draw 3 consecutive games , i managed to beat man.city and chelsea and right away got smashed by southampton and so on. Currently sitting in 5th place but with enough chances to go up at least to 3 till the end of the season. There are issues with the defense especially when playing with teams that have quick forwards looking to beat the offside trap but i believe that is just about the normal outcome when you have a hard pressing team defending higher up the field. Romelu Lukaku has been an absolute beast so far along with strong performances from my left wing back , Caner Erkin( bargain buy at 6 mill.in mthly installments).

Some matches i've drawn are against teams that defend in numbers and i think playing with standard mentality doesn't help against these kind of teams. I think i should drop the defense a bit in some matches because of the kind of goals i'm facing.
All in all the tactic has been responsible for some beautiful pieces of play and i am looking forward to tinker it into a premier league title season next season! Cheers mate!
