Started using this tactic (the latest modern one) in my 5th season with castel di sangro and i have to say its excellent. First season in serie A and tipped for relegation and im sitting second in the league at the half way point. Included wins away to roma and lazio.
I struggled a little but i found that if i change from attacking to counter in most games, including home, it made a big positive difference. I assume this is as im a smaller team with no superstars.
I may change the setup a bit or switch to another tactic for the second half of the season as i find most teams have learned how to counter you after they have played you once.
I have found i get a lot of red cards. 3 in 6 games, including 2 for the same central defender but this could just be an issue with my players aggression rather than the tactic.
So again, well done and thanks.
