How many games played? Is the tactic fluid? I've never had a problem defensively, are you working on defensive positioning in training?

Excellent, 5 wins out of 6 is not bad! The defensive positioning training aspect I feel is very important.

Very nice tactic mate. Don't usually use ones from here because they're too inconsistent but I love this!

Won the FA Cup, Capital One Cup and finished 3rd in the Premier League in the second season with Reading:

Quality results there! They may not be the best individual players, but good signings for the tactic and definitely makes the whole greater than the sum of its parts. Going to update the opening post today so will add this on there.

Wanyama is great! Not sure if he's always such a beast because I've never signed him but he appeared to fit in really well. Pearce at centre back was also great - scored loads from corners

I've actually never had wanyama, but everybody who's used him in this tactic have raved about him! How did you do in your first season?

Finished 11th but I took over March with the team bottom. Think I played something like 11 games of the season and didn't lose once mate

Is that using this tactic as well? This tactic seems to do great with Prem League Underdogs for sure - Swansea, Wigan, Reading all got champions league football / title wins / multiple trophies in the first 2 seasons!

Yeah mate, used it from as soon as I took over!
 
just a quick update with my rangers save p16 w12 d2 l2 f59 a11 thats in all comp so far so good
 
I'm in the process of compiling a list of recommended players for the latest patch. Will be aimed at mid-lower table Premier division sides, anybody who has been using the tactic and have recommendations please post in this thread and I can add them.
 
I am playing with spurs as I told before, played 22 league games 16w 5d 1l, I am in the curling final, doing great in europa league!!! Bought Wanyama for back up, but he is by far the best player so far, absolute beast with much better rating than Bale, Kaboul, Jovetic, Nem, Defoe, Santon, Walker who also play great!!! So without a doubt he MUST be in that list!!! Love this tactic, will post screenshots when season is over, but this will take a while cause I am working many ours and have to spend and some time with wife, so unfortunately I have only 1 to 3 hours a day for the game!!!
 
Hello :), this is the best freaking tactic out there. Thank You.
I wanted to share this pics with you all, Im playing with the Swedish team Malmö FF (Ibrahimovic's first team) and im enjoying it quite well. As most of you guys know the Swedish League "Allsvenskan" isn't quite famous. That's why I got really happy for beating teams like Juventus, AZ Alkmaar, Spartak Moskva And Mönchengladbach.

Here's some pictures.
 
And there we have our third trophy with Swansea!

The opening page has been updated with player recommendations, let me know what you think. Cheers for the great feedback on the tactic guys.
 
Hey Seanhrfc,
