This tactic deserve a whole lot more credit than it has received and I'm gonna tell you something else, before flaming you should look at your gel level (Report - Last Match - Team talk feedback) If you have bought new players to any tactic basically it can upset the teams mental balance that goes for any tactic, so what you do arrange lots of friendlies as many as possible every 2nd or 3rd day don't care about fitness just let your assistant handle the friendly matches he will even pick 2nd and youth team players himself if 1st team players are to tired so if not geled with your tactic expect everything to be inconsistant and not as the tactic are meant to be, even with a default tactic.
I have alot of experience using Brobs17 plug & play 433, and I have even created my own version of it, but for many season I used it with a top team (Barcelona) however I didn't use it the way it was recommended, and I have had alot of amazing results with the original and own version of Brobs17. Last season I beat R.Madrid 9-3 in one game, I have had alot of games like 8-0 etc. Remember I probably have alot of great players compared to everyone else in my savegame.
I see all these people in different tactics threads recommending strong and physical midfielders, I disagree and agree, both works, but using an amc with high pace and finishing can be devastating to, I created a dutch player called Haci Geurtjens he was an AMC but in the calibre of Diego Maradona, an amazing Trequartista type, these types though lesser phycical in strenght but high quality in Pace, technique, Finishing and creativity can get you the high scoring games and beatiful soccer the way we all love it. Ofcause physical more defensive minded players also works, just don't count the other option entirely out.
Brobs17 433 plug and play tactic deserve 1000 pages with screen shots of your experience in this thread its that good.
Training I used for a long time was :
Team cohesion - Hard - Scheduling 40% - Attacking Movement
I think if you are a top team like Barcelona this is a perfect setup probably with any tactic, try it and let me know what you think. Just remember to check your team GEL (method above)

Thats with Brobs my own version, I think its more a matter of getting good players or better players that the ones you have currently, it seems to me the ones you have currently must be pretty **** good + your tactic is probably close to perfection as well. Not to forget the gel level the longer you keep the same players in your squad the better=kill for each other is the best, the training I use above I have found the best possible, if you have had the amount of success not using the same formula I think you could score even more with your current tactic and players that you use, so I don't think you should look for a different tactic, I think you should buy the best players in your game if there is anyone left and then team cohesion &attacking movement 40 % match training. By the way you should post your tactic, it would be interesting to try it.
What changes did you make with your own version of this?
I realize I didn't go into much dept before, but what I can say is I focus on players getting preferred moves along with the common skills that each position should have.
If we start with the central Defence I use simular types dcl/r. 14+ for jumping as fast as possible but not many central defenders are fast in my game and its not needed either but 10+ for Acc/pace is good. train preffered moves shot with power, short simple passes, no through balls. DCL is the main man for the corner kick strategy the better he is at heading the better if he is fairly good at finishing that would be beneficial to, something like 8+. Get the preffered move shot with power will get him extra goals. I have had a defender that scored 20+ goals in a season and maybe more for the whole position due to using rotational system.
Full Backs fast 15+ for acc/pace, retraining a winger could be an option never tried it but think it would work splendidly also dribbling skill 10+ should be enough. Preffered moves is hug line, knock ball past opponent,short simple passes (shot with power).
Dmc allround physical mentally tecnically, so a strong deeplaying playmaker, he is the recycle man with possession. Preferred moves short simple passes, throwing tacling, dictate tempo.
Mcl/r I use 2 Trequartista/Amc type of players in this position. Diego Maradona, Leo Messi, Michael Laudrup,
Zinedine Zidane & Ronaldinho is the sort of former players and still existing in Messi I would use. I like them to be extremely fast creative and technical and ofcourse good finishers 12+. Preffered moves knock ball past opponent, place shot, killer balls often, one two, Run with ball through centre.The mcl is the best for me and I give him full creative freedom 20 he is for me someone like the above names mentioned, lots of flair and creativity. The mcr is as much the same as mcl but I open up for a stronger midfielder but still prefer the same 2 types he have slightly less creative freedom but still high 15, I think really high creative freedom is a key in this version of football manager. Minimum 15+ for all positions except DC's & DMC.
3 Sc's high pace is good but medium can succeed to I would go for minimum 13+ for scl/r and SC minimum 12+ due to the dominance of play acc/pace, common skills for strikers as allround as possible, composure very important I think and can you get the SC to be strong and creative I think that would be really good. Preferred moves, knock ball past opponent, run with ball through centre, short simple passes, place shot for scl/r shot with power SC, one two, move into channels, break offside trap.
I will say this is not a formula as much, but more my own idea and its used with my newest tweak of Brobs 433. The full backs are amazing and acts as wingers they take the ball forward and runs half a soccer field before finishing, passing or crossing the ball. The football being played is overload playing on opponents half, it reminds me of some Brazilian tactics where you see the full backs act as wingers and create a 8 man offense with the DMC as the most defensive the recycling of possession goes through him. This is very much like how I wanna see Barcelona play. Keys in this tactic is Full backs, fast dribling central midfielders, its high creative freedom, its 20+ chances many half chances, its defensively sound lots of clean sheets.
For this I recommend the tweaked version that is without through balls all players and alot of creative freedom
just beat Racing Santander 6-0

Cant seem to get the link working mate, would you be able to post it again. thanks
I used to but there is not an option to ask the assistant anymore because it affects match training which effects the tactic. Would love to know good individual training for players too
Goodnight all.
