anyone tried this tactic with arsenal? and had success?
I think it will and im sure somebody in this thread as used it with the gunners with good results...
im curious about that aswell.. as i tried soo many tactics to bring success to arsenal soo far nothing work as i wished... its like 3-4 wins then home loose 0-3 to norwich then beat away chelsea loose home wigan 0-2 i dont wanna blame the tact as it seemed to work for many ppl with even lower clubs but as for arsenal for me unfortunetly hasnt worked
That would be me.
Just finished the 2013-14 season and won the league and Euro Cup (Couldn't get past CL group stages =.=)
Here are my two teams that I constantly rotate:

As you can see, I left my 3 best CBs alone but added a very promising young Turkish CB. For LB, I sold Santos and brought in Santon. For RB, I got De Sciligo and sold Sagna (Unhappy).
For my two CMs, I rotate between the two partnerships of (Arteta Pjanic) and (M'Vila Ramsey) The left is the BWM and the right is the DLP. For my CAM, I rotate between Isco and Jack Wilshere (BEAST!). I never unticked "playmaker" as I they bagged lots of assists and goals for me.
Onto the wings, I sold Podolski and got Jovetic. (Should've gotten Gotze :S) I also sold Gervinho and got Shaqiri. In the striker spot, Giroud is PERFECT for the preset TM role. He literally bags a hat trick in every match he starts in
My other rotating striker is Abel Hernandez, and he also scores for fun. (He scored 5 against Barca!!)
You guys might not notice it, but you can actually get A LOT of money from selling all the club's deadwood and not-so-promising youngsters! Thats how I got the $$$ to buy these players
I didn't tweak much of the preset formation/tactics. What I did was follow Raikan's instructions by using "control" against weak teams and "defensive" against stronger teams. I also followed his instructions for match training.
For team talks, I always used Agressive-Expect to win before the match, Aggressive-not happy during HT if the team is doing poorly or Calm-Keep it up if the team is doing well. After the match, I usually do calm-good job if we win. If its a win with a poor performance I just don't talk at all, because I seem to **** the team off with anything I say. If we lose, I use aggresive-unhappy.
I think that the key to success is having pacy LW/RWs, good creative CAMs, STs with good finishing, and CMs with good defending and stamina. During a match, my team usually passes in the opposition's half and just keeps passing it around, trying to find an opening. My creative players can thread a ball through to my striker with just a tiny gap in the defense
While using "defensive", I usually find my team countering with pace on the wings and just crossing it to my striker.
Key players for the team:
