Its quite long so here is a bullet point summary
- started in July 2042
- used liverpool, they were in the championship division, value of the club was around $60m
- 2.5 season later I am currently placed 4th in premiership
- after tactics are fluid, using 'team cohesion' instead of 'balance' and using 'teamwork' instead of 'def positioning' was the best and only tweak I have made. - CANNOT RECCOMEND THIS CHANGE MORE.
Ive been searching through a lot of tactics and tried a quite a few but this tactic is by far the best out of all of them!
Im not sure how to post screenshots so you are just going to have to deal with a whole bunch of words.
I used a save I found online where someone has simulated the game so you start in July 2042. This means that there are no 'starting players' and there are big changes in which clubs are in what division e.g. Everton where in league one and Liverpool had been in the championship for 3 seasons and the clubs value had shrunk to just over $60m!!!
Liverpool being my favourite team, I could help but take up the challenge of getting them back to the top.
In the first season, I used Mr Hough & Mr Lang... tactic but it wasnt really working out for me. By december I was placed 5th and my predicted league place was 2nd. I switched to this tactic, got the tactic fluid, and managed to gain automatic promotion to the premiership by placing second. I was happy with the tactic, but I just felt it could deliver more.
in the next season, I was predicted to get relegated by placing 18th. I finished 12th which I was more than happy with but when I would watch the goals, there were just stupid errors that I was conceding through, and in the last 1/4 of the season, my team just werent creating chances and my form had fallen dramatically.
in the next season, I figured that I would get my team to focus on teamwork and how they play together in order to fix my chance creation issue and the stupid goals I was conceding. I only bought players with high teamwork, work rate, stamina, decisions, and composure as the first post said, I then got the tactic fluid, and I then switched to the recommended training, but instead of focusing on 'balance' I am using 'team cohesion' and instead of using 'defensive positioning', im using 'teamwork'. I am currently in January, in 4th position (predicted to finish 12th), won the 1st leg of the capital one cup semi by 3 goals so im fairly certain I will be in the final, and I have a striker who is the top scorer, and a person with the most assists!

This is by far the best tactic I have used in FM13!
In my third season with Juventus and have won every competition I have been in so far. Currently on a 90 game unbeaten streak!!
The only problems I've had is red cards. Usually get about 5-10 a season mostly from the DMC. The corner set up is amazing. The first two season my CD scored over 20 a season however this season I'm hardly scoring from corners. Anyone know why this would be?

I'm not finding any great success with this tactic. :S
Im in in my second season with Monaco. We are currently in 13th in Ligue 1 in February 2014.
I am conceding goals too frequently, often in the first 10 minutes of a game.
I do not score many goals, and when I do it is from corners or crosses from the wings.
Even though it is only my first season in Ligue 1 I think that I can finish in the top 8/9.
It is so frustrating that everybody else is doing so well with this tactic and I can't get it to work.
ANY ADVICE WILL BE HELPFUL. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I CAN DO TO GET THE SEASON BACK ON TRACK

can you make a tactic for home games and against weak teams? more attacking.
this tactic is amazing. but there are a few problem in some home games.
thanks a lot for this tactic bro. i tried this tactic all my career. (Trabzonspor, wolves, arsenal, deportivo, napoli, hannover, liverpool, notts for. ...)

This is easily the best tactic I have come across ever. I was struggling mid table halfway through the season with my southampton side when I started using it. Ended up with 4th and a final in the europa league which I unfortunately lost. Continuing on next season my team had mastered the tactic and won the premier league and the champions league

Last season I dominated in the premier league, got knocked out by Real Madrid in the first knockout round in the champions league though.

My Team consisted of mostly young regens, stat wise the team should have struggled to maintain top 6.
I never changed anything with the tactic, I always used it no matter if I was the underdog or it was home or away. I never used any shouts. Training was heavy balanced with match training 30% def positioning, but I also had some periods with defending set pieces as I struggled a bit with that.
I noticed that you really need to have at least 4 DM's, they are the main workhorses of your team and they just run up and down the pitch non stop, breaking up attacks and helping your attacking players when needed, also scoring the occasional goal.
Thanks a lot for the tactic, it's been amazing so far and I'm looking forward to trying it in some other leagues.
