Good to have you back mate, great results.

Is the v2 a downright better version?

Can you elaborate on how different it is? At work at the moment.

It is only some small changes to do with marking settings, but seems a lot more solid defensively now.

Edit, also some set piece changes, the CF is now attacking the near post from corners so get a big lad to play there (like the ones I just posted). Found centre backs were a bit too wasteful there.

going well apart from bookings

Im playing in the skrill league with my home city Salisbury, going very well after i tweaked a few minor things and im 2nd in league just been on a big (ish)win streak but it all came undone again thanks to a red card from my cdm. This is my only issues

That's the problem with a high pressure, hassling tactic, players will get booked. I make use of subs and also be wary of playing too many aggressive players and in particular players who dive into tackles.
 
Alliver - what was ur media prediction m8 ;) ?

that's the point, it was 2nd :P

but i started with the tactic only after 12 - 13 games and i was 8th

I was able to win 10 consecutive matches and now I've reached the promotion with 7 matches to play yet

I'll be reporting the next season too, but i'm optimistic:)
 
i'm wondering how good ur results gonna be after promotion, when u will be underdog, not the fav to promotion ;). anyway tactic looks promising ;).

I'll post the results as soon as i finish the new season mate :)
 
I ' m playing this tactic with Man City and i CAN"T score, i have 9 wins 6 draws and 1 defeat, I don't know what to change, i only conceeded 9 goals wich is very good but i can't get aguero or jovetic to score, negredo has no skill and dzeko plays bad. Anyone knows how get passed this ?

Keep going...you can't tell whether a tactic will work or not until around 2 months of using it (to get it fluid).
 
My both strikers averages 5.9 :/ this is a bit unrealistic... and my tactic is fluid ...
 
Always fancied trying this tactic out in FM13 but never got round to it. Having been a bit frustrated by some of the tactics I was trying on FM14, I thought I'd give this a bash. I decided to give it a go with West Brom, a team usually in the lower reaches of the EPL.

Quite impressed so far, will report in when I make it to Christmas. Just using the V1 of this formation

Update from my Hellas Verona save, in the first season I ended up 7th, while in the second I won the title. Now bare in mind that I replaced 9 players from the main formation in the second season, but I haven't bought any superstar aside of Victor Valdez - he's been a free agent until november, I signed him for 2,5 millions euros p/y.

I took off play high tempo and switched one DM to regista mid-season, I don't think it made that huge of a difference. Oddly enough, my left winger had 0 goals and 16 assists this season, while having 11 goals and 7 assists the season before.

So yeah, I'd say this definitely works. I'm going on with this and then try with Sassuolo as soon as I find a decent DB update.

I forgot to add my media prediction was 15th (18th for the first season), feel free to add this to the OP sean, I think it's pretty impressive results. Will update with Champion's League results in a while.
 
Great tactic!

I don't seem to have the same problem with the sendings off. But I have just won Skrill South using this. I just have a little query, my full backs loving playing a 5.1, is there anything I can do to sort this or is it part and parcel of being down here in the sewers of English football?

BPD.
 
Working well with Dunfermline am 1pt clear of Rangers with 3 games to go although play them last game of the season. Nail biting stuff haha
