Finished the 1st season with Rangers. Only lost once. To celtic away. Morelos, cummings, windass and herrera scored for fun. In the summer now. Signed sam johnstone, regan poole and demetri mitchell on frees. Bought nick powell for 800k and donald love for 200k. Got james wilson on loan. Got absolutely no money but enjoying having players i like. O i bought will keane in jan, he bagged about 15 in 10 aswell
this was my favourite tac, been using V1, V2 and V3.....after 6 promotions, it seems to be not working for me in the premier league anymore....
If ppl starts saying it works for 18.3 again....maybe I start testing again.
try my tweak of it being discussed in tweak centre. results have been ridiculous (H)
But u are using the best if not 2nd best team in a 2 teams league....i mean thank you for sharing, but the usage would convince more ppl if you were using Hearts or some other much weaker teams to win the league.....

That's shot down my theory then mate. Any advice/tips? I've attached my squad and results so far in season 4.

I have been trying this and had mixed results, it works to concede less goals but also makes me score a lot less also. It seems for me the key to this tactic when you win is just annihilating the oppositions morale with lots of goals.For anyone that says this tactic isnt working. Please try the following little tweak:
Change CM (Supp) to CM (Def)
Change CM (Att) to CM (Supp)
The tactic is so much more defensively solid like this. The cover the 2 midfielders provide is essential.
I was really struggling to get results with this tactic until this tweak. I would score loads but always concede more. I hope this works for you all!
Evening all.
I've not had much time in the last few weeks to play FM much. Checked this thread every few days and was rather gutted to see people appear to not have much luck with this tactic anymore.
I thought I'd give it a go myself, couldn't pick who to go from Barcelona/Liverpool.....so I went both!!! I do really like both clubs so just to test the tactic I added both managers. Granted it's not exactly "challenging" with Barca...but the attached show it's still been working for me! Exact same tactic as in OP.
Anyway, hoping to find more time to carry on playing but in the meantime hope it's still working for others as it has been a success so far!
6th season in total, but only 2nd season in PL with PeterboroughAlthough finished 5th in first season, was predicted to finish 19th 2nd season. Managed to finished 6th, again qualifying for Europa League
First time in Europa League I got knocked out vs Atletico Madrid (who went on to win the whole thing and Spanish La Liga that season). Personally think if Britt Assombolonga hadn't got a long term injury (5 months out) I'd have comfortably finished in top 4 therefore qualify for CL. You can see his stats for his games he played before he got injured he was still banging them in for fun (he finished top scorer of the league in my first season in PL). Overall happy with the PL / Europa League season, again going to aim to strengthen all over the pitch. To me it shows this tactic does work as I'm playing bang average players a lot and still getting results IE Callum Gribbin, Lookman, Asombolonga and they're all stars for me so far. I think the fact I'm only in Europa League / general repuation of Peterborough is stopping "big" players interested in coming to me but hopefully I'll finish top 4 in order to attract better players. Hopefully it's going so well for everyone else

I'm also conceding more than a goal per match on average, but my strikers are scoring much more. I've won both the Spanish League and Cup on the first season after losing Iago Aspas before the league started (Man City paid his release clause). Lost 3 games, drew a couple of them, won everything else. Probably the best tactic I have ever tried in a FM game, which is saying something (I've played every single installment of the series so far, including CM).Ive noticed recently im conceding an awful lotSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
