Hey Shyfty
As I said earlier in thread i'm testing this with Benfica in Portugal. Benfica doesn't really have the midfield that's needed to really make this tactic flourish so I had to do a lot of position training and also let my Director of Football take care of transfers in/out. I've tested for 14 games and in those games I went 6 Wins 5 draws 3 Losses 16GF 8GA. My biggest win was a 1-0 over PSG at home in CL. I also have Milan in my group and in my game at Italy I was up 2-0 at half before losing 3-2.
I then started thinking this stlye is almost like how Mourinho likes to play, give the opponent possession but don't let them do nothing with it. I would have games were opponent had 60% possession but 1 shot on target. I then started tinkering with the tactic to see how I could keep the same structure defensively but transform it into a 4-2-3-1 to bring some more offense into it.
I've only played 3 games with this so far but here are my results:

I know you're thinking well i played two crappy opponents. Although true the point is my team was much more offensive. We won the possession battle while still keeping the defensive structure. My next game was CL vs Milan this time in Lisbon. A real test! We dominated them!

Like I said...i know its a very small sample size but I think it looks promising.
If anyone want's to try it and see if they can make it work...you can download it here

Hey Mantorras,
Glad to see you are having success with your version of this tactic and I really do appreciate the testing. However, taking the entire tactic and making it into a 4-2-3-1 goes a bit beyond tweaking. Once again, I really do appreciate all the help but I think we are moving a bit far away from the original now
i only implanted ur attacking set pieces.
can't say im scoring that much more.
i will leave it in for a while, maybe it needs some more time to get fluid.
whos your defenders?

mostly what i see is that my 2 cm's are drawing gaps for the wingbacks.
for me at the moment i am testing to get my wingbacks playing like wingers and give a cross ball to the far post so one of the two cm's or the other wingback can be there and score.

Oh, that sounds good. Looking forward to the feedback!
**** it's to much for the tactic
conceding more goals now.
going back to basic (H) with some slight changes.
also want to try for the cm's in a different roll. i am going to set them both as dyn mid.
the CM's? I think they will be even more exhausted then they already are but I am all for trying it
