There are no changes at all, it can be used as plug and play or you can use the OI if you wish.

Restarted again and start my long term save with Swansea. Finished 2nd on the first season! However, got eliminated out of FA and Capital cup. Didn't use any OIs. The best tactic for this FM I ever used! Only signed players using 48months installments. Michu and Tony Watt partnership both are unstoppable.

Once again, thanks sean for this tactic! Highly recommended for people to try this tactic out. It has a very solid defense if you have good players.

I get the results I want,but I don't like the amount of shots my team has..I usually have about 8 or 9 shots a game and 3-4 of them are on target.Any idea how to increase the shot count?

Also - Undonking, which skin is this?
 
I'm using this tactic with Man City and have just played a half season. But I have a very small problem with this tactic. Don't get me wrong: I'm sitting comfortably top of the league 6 points in front of our arch rivals having played 20 matches and only lost once. My problem is this: for me the tactic is a little unspectacular (for lack of a better word). A lot of 1-0 victories and my only purchase (and a very expensive one I might add) Falcao has only scored 5 in 18 matches. Also over half of my goals comes from corners. Am I doing something wrong or is this how the tactic should be working. Maybe I'm asking too much but with the squad I have the team must play a more eye pleasing tiki taka type football.
My starting eleven is: Hart, Clichy, Kompany, Lescott, Maicon, Touré, Barry, Silva, Nasri, Tevez, Falcao (Aguero)

To be fair with my SM team in my first title season I was winning most of the games by 1-0, but now I'm winning games by 5+ goals regularly. Admittedly I have a better squad now but the core of the team is the same and they've had seasons to gel. I reckon with time the results will get bigger, but at least you're winning games!

I've continued to put in good performances all season, but have still continued to struggle with results.I've got 4 games left in my first season with West Ham, but i've just saved and quit as i need a break from the frustration.I don't think i've gained a point this season that i didn't fully deserve, but have dropped up to 30 points from some of the most outrageous scenarios i've ever witnessed in FM.For instance, in the one game of the season that i could have actually nicked a win when i only deserved a draw, was away to Man City. Its injury time and a long punt forward for City is arcing harmlessly back to my GK who can simply pick it up. Instead, he goes racing out of the box past the ball, leaving Tevez an open goal and its 1-1.If i was getting the results my performances deserved i'd be challenging for the title, instead i'm hovering around the middle of the table with not even a slight chance of Europe.Sean - Just want you to know that i don't blame the tactic, i'm going to have another season and see how it goes when i have a few more of the right players for the roles.Cheers

I have to say I am gutted for you! Really thought it would turn around. Typical West Ham! But I reckon you will have a much improved season next year if you get rid of the deadwood and bring in the right players - european football I'd hope.
 
just about to start my second season with sanmarino got 1 or 2 better players so this might be the year we go up wish me luck
 
belting tactic sean, though I loaned wanyama and he's got 3 red cards in 7, do find my dmc's getting alot of second yellows?

I've found that if you have particularly aggressive DMs they pick up a lot of cards. Try changing their tackling to easy, though I generally always sub a dm if they've been booked. Who are you playing as?
 
Great Tactic!!

I've had good success With this tactic by managing to guide salernitana to a seria c2 b win and a seria c/2 super cup win, we always performed well (almost an average rating of 7 in my best 11!!) Although we let a few results slip away towards the end. My only Criticism would be more guidance with the filters and attributes for the lower leagues like what players stats to prioritize the most as not all lower league players are as well rounded (as the filters suggest) . But overall fantastic tactic!!!!!

Turnaround

Hey, I've been trying your tactic with QPR and it's working wonders! I'm half season through sitting on the top 3 all season long. The only thing that's bugging me is that I lost 3 games to the "big guys" after opening 2-0, and then the team simply blacks out and the defense is cut open like swiss cheese! How do you believe I can get around this? Switching to counter has not given me any results, nor defensive... Again, the tactic is crazy good! Just wanted help on that.

Try changing use dm to defend and your wingers to defensive wingers on support and leave it on control that's what works for me

Did you say well done at half time??
Made that mistake a few times and the results are shocking.

Won the Serie A with record of points and Italy Cup in first season.
I've only signed Fierro on loan.
Really amazing tactic!!!

I have been using this wiith LOSC Lille...

Just to say that this tactic is amazing! I am currently in December 2012. Got eliminated in champion´s group stage (in a group with Barça and City), but still managed to beat Barcelona 4-1!


So I am predicting that I will win everything else, lol... Sitting on top of the league with good advantage, Ancelotti already been fired from PSG they are 15/18 points behind me and Lyon are doing a crappy season... Basically I lost interest in the save because was too easy, blame you Sean for a amazing tactic XD

if you want I could put ss, but today I am too lazy... lol


I am thinking of testing this in a low team from Portugal, that should be a challenge...
 
using milan in 2018, took over them they were in a mess, runners up in the league though last year, this season im top so far, such a consistent tactic, even when you dont win its close

I've lost 2 matches against them, I don't know how it's possible lol.
The same for Pescara in 5th position.
