Yes yes I know I'm Barcelona but the goalscoring power of these tactic's is truly ridiculous. I haven't tested with anybody else, it would be great to see results if anybody does?
First off here's the 3 shapes I use

The only players that change position are the number 20 (needs to be able to play CM + DMC + DMC - I use Masch or Busquets) and the 2 wide players numbers 22 & 2 (needs to be able to play DR/L + WBR/L + MR/L - Alves, Montoya, Alba, Mathieu).
The shape I play depends on the opponent, actually it depends on how many forwards & attacking midfielders they deploy.
vs 4-4-2 - use 3-4-3
vs 4-2-3-1 - use 2-3-2-3
vs 4-1-2-2-1 - use 4-3-3
or try this rule of thumb
vs 1 SC + 0 AMC - use 4-3-3
vs 1 SC + 1 AMC - use 2-3-2-3
vs 2 SC + 0 AMC - use 3-4-3
vs 2 SC + 1 AMC - never had to but I'd suggest 3-4-3 and use the dlp to man mark the AMC
(any others I will be happy to answer )
The 'long flat throw' is a HUGE help, my 'side' players all have it, train/buy players to exploit this.
Corners I have my 'left sided player' taking my right corners, and my 'right sided player' taking my left corners.

I'm in the third season here, won everything in first two season's while tweaking these tactics, only really adding 'galactics's' (Pogba, Vidal), replacing players who wanted new challenges (Cuadrado for Alves, Martinez for Pique, now targeting CR7 for Pedro) and a few young talents at the start to bulk up my 1st team squad (Memphis, Balanta, Romero and Barbosa). Results this season have been INSANE.
