Before the patch I'd won the Scottish Premier with Hamilton, Partick Thistle and Motherwell, using the tactic with dimartino tweak (three AF up front) and Denner tweak (mixed passing and retain possession).
Since the patch that setup is still good to get a team outperforming expectations (I finished second with Motherwell), still scores a lot of goals, but it's seriously leaky defensively (76 goals against in my Motherwell game).
Seemed like part of the problem was the two man midfield got overrun, so I dumped the mixed passing/retain possession and went back to direct passing to try and bypass midfield a bit. Defensive problems were long balls over my defenders, and too many goals given away from freekicks round my penalty box. So changed the middle CB to cover, and turned hard tackling off for the three centerback. Seems to have worked.

Not sure what went wrong in the Champions League final.
Also tried it for a season with Clyde (Scottish 4th level, and my hometown team), took forever to get to Fluid because they're part-time and I couldnt get an assistant manager, but when it got there it worked well, finished the season with 15 games unbeaten streak and won the division.
I'm not going to post my version because there are already too many versions on here, but it's dimartino tweak with middle defender changed to cover and hard tackling turned off for centerbacks if anybody is interested.
