Bug Fix:
Version 2; Added advanced forward for increased amount of goals from various positions, also ball playing defender, for increased retaining possession.

An unusual yet highly effective formation, perfect for possession. This formation really makes the ball do the work, and you'll often find your players still have 90% energy at half time and 75-80% at full time, this is due to the proximity between the players.

Here is the league table showing off how strong and effective this tactic is, I've done many test saves all with identical if not better results, it's just I re-installed windows recently and lost everything so had to re-install. 1 goal conceded is remarkable and it's mostly due to the fact my team is the best tackling team in the league, a I've been told in many press conferences.

Just a few games to show the stats, the Sunderland game is a fantastic example of games vs lower teams. The lower team has anything between 0 and 3 shots.

The formation certainly looks interesting. One goal conceded in 10 games while nearly averaging 3 a game isn't bad!

Oooh, Crane, you're still about. Yeah try it out, it's better than last years.

Seems very interesting, played 1 game with it, tactic not even 25% fluid got 44 shots total, 24 on goal, 13 CCC's, 10 half-chances and won only 1-0 (STRANGE), will try it more and will let u know the results during the season.
By the way ball possesion was 72-28 for me .
Very promising tactic

What is the distribution of goals by position?

With fluidity you should see more goals. How was your defence? In terms of shots against and corners against?

ST, both CAM, LWB and RWB, they seem to score the most. But both CM's pop up with occasional goals.

They had 0 shoots and no corners, lol, i totally dominated the game

Yeah, I get that every game, glad it's working for somebody else too.

 

[JohnR55]

Looks a very promising tactic! Will give it a shot and keep you updated

 

[cadchee]

Just finished the 2nd game, same result 1-0 against, lots of shoots and CCC's, they only had 2 shoots outside of target

 

[cadchee]

In your screenshot your attacker is AF but in the tactic that i downloaded the atacker is poacher, also defenders are not BPD they are normal defenders with a cover duty ??!!

OH ****, haha. I must have uploaded version 1. Right, let me quickly upload version 2, hold on a second.

 

[jonnysnipe]

Will give this a go with a league 2 team ha see how it fairs probably terribly but im bored

VERSION 2 IS UP!

 

[cadchee]

Lol, no problem buddy, is this version better than the 1st one

 

[matanbar]

This tactic is amazing man!!!
3 win's a row with gladbach with a awful morale player's.
Against all I got 60%+ Possesion and they had no more than 2 shot's on target!

 

[jonnysnipe]

Not great in lower leagues but obvious because of the roles needed

What might work is playing the two CAM's as attacking midfielders, one on support and one on attack. Then change the MCR to central midfield and the MCL to box-to-box. That should work a lot better for lower league.

Yeah, the advanced forward makes all kinds of different runs, sometime he even drops deeper, it allows others to make runs too. Really improves goal scoring opportunities, in my opinion.
