Still the best for me on 16.2 patch.
Can get some very strange almost scripting loses though and they are usually heavy.

Have a United and Porto save going.
Porto in the third season and got through to the semi finals of the CL after beating Real Madrid and Bayern.
One of those jumping for joy moments when you get a mickey mouse team in the semi final after i drew Gelsenkirchen.

At home drew 1-1 and was like........................... Porto are 1000 times bigger than this club i have not even heard of.
2nd leg i lose so im out.
It's one of those moments you are not disapointed but you literally put your head in your hands and look for the fine all players for 100 years button in the game. (SI introduce this button please)

I started my United save again as before i used it as a test save so did not buy any players 1st season.
So this time could have a good 1st team and a decent 2nd team squad instead of using Young and Valencia as the defenders in the 2nd team usually.
On that first test save, i actually won the CL with United, posted the screens in this thread.

This time with my own better players, i lose 5-3 on aggregate to Monaco in the qualifier.
That should be insta sack for United but kept my job, with it only listing as 20% underperformed on the CL for the board.
I dont replay games, but starting the season again after that. Unplayable after that result.
Had to play Fletcher upfront due to injuries but that doesnt explain shipping 4 goals to a team from France.
 
Amazing, mate!I played 2 seasons with Devastator's Supernova and promoted Valladolid in the 1st season and made a Top half finish in the second. But in 3rd season, after some changes in the squad my performances started suffering heavily. Even though I created a lot of chances, a wasteful attack and a leaking defense threw me to bottom of table.Kept changing between all the Devastator tactics, until tried this one. 3 matches 3 wins so far, looking impressive

Some games feel a lot more scripted in FM16 than I've seen in 6+ years. Ridiculous at times, but oh well...
 
for the striker role, I've found Target Man (attack) with roam from position+move to channels to be surprisingly effective. 'Pass short' and 'pass into space' TI will prevent long balls and instead will make the striker the main target for through balls and killer passes. Maybe something to try in future tactics as this tweaked TM might be the closest thing to an effective poacher (default Poacher is useless in my experience)

I used the striker tweak Wibe then striker Walcott used as the first season scored continuously, I think you can try and see results

maybe it need some more games but the tactic is fluid, and dont score so many goals. do you use OI ? and what about training?

Really promising start (considering that familiarity to tactic isn't fully fluid yet, and morale is pretty bad due to sale of a player).
Also, it seems that the only player scoring in my team is a striker (Vardy has like 15 goals). Really afraid of Vardy getting an injury :D

Started using the tactic made by GobButhJD in the OP and it's almost making FM too easy all of a sudden!

Fantastic tactic so far. I'm playing with Newcastle in 20/21-season. Ended the other seasons in positions 11-9-8-7-4 and last year third, alot of changing and experimenting with tactics, trying to make my own that works as well as it did in FM15 I got tired of never being able to fulfil the teams potential. I've had great players throughout all seasons even though some positions were wearker than others.

Here's the results using the tactic in OP: (Red marker shows where I changed tactics)

As you can see my results weren't totally awful before I changed tactics but it felt like we were being run over away from home and alot of our victories felt lucky or random. I wanted more stability. And I felt like our team should be doing better than they were.

And the tactic has done just that. Made us stabile and made us the best team home and away, against every oponent so far. We lost away at Bayern in the second match, the team wasn't fluid with the new tactic yet and we had more shots, possession and CCC. Other than that I fielded alot of second choices and talents in the league cup and against Basel in the CL-match we tied.

Here is my team, btw:

Just have to show off Duffy, a regen that came from our own youth program, a wonderkid with England caps and just incredible potential. He was great last year as well but it doesn't look like the new tactic is hurting him any either!

I've never before downloaded a tactic off the net but had to do something so my keyboard or my screen would survive another week of FM. Downloaded another tactic the other day that I used most of last season, but it had some mixed results. Great at home from time to time but suicidal away from home. This tactic really is amazing. Finally the group of players I've got at my disposial can deliver their promise! Just hope it continues.. ;)
