Really good tactic. I wish you could somehow tweak the Striker role. Sometimes when the wide players cross it is the AM that picks up the cross and the Striker just looks away (literally). Sometimes the AM and striker seem to be running into each other (the striker going the wrong way).
The team plays beautifully.
Another problem seems to be with the CD on stopper role. Seems to give away simple balls to the opposition (heads them to the opposition) even when not under pressure.
The BBM plays really well. As do the FBs. The AM and winger are good too.
 
can you give us some preferred moves for the players? and when u get a red card, who do you remove?

For preferred moves:

ST: Runs channels.

Wingers: Cut inside.

CAM: gets forward whenever possible.

Wing Backs: get forward whenever possible.

Half back: comes deep.

And i try train EVERYONE bar the CBs to play one-twos often.

although so long as CAM Wingers and ST have one twos it seems to work best.

Red card i usually drop the CAM.

or if he's playing really well ill drop one of the wingers. Just use your discretion really.

Yeh i kinda want more from the striker but not sure what to do with it. Ive not had much time to tweak it, maybe try a DLF so he comes onto things from deep. Just play around with it and let me know how it goes.

Again with CBs ive not tried tweaking much, let me know if any success in different roles!
 
The tactic, albeit weird-looking, is good. I am using it with Bayern Leverkusen in my second season, and the team plays really well. If you have world class wingbacks such as Bellerin or David Alaba they will wreck havoc, surely.

The only tweak that I made is changing the CF for AF, to best suit Chicharito. It is working wonders, as he scored 22 in 20 games so far.

do you use the tactic both for home and away matches?
The tactic is solid even for tought away matches?

Most of the time I do, but for very hard away matches (i.e. Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Dortmund) I prefer using a tweak of FMSERBIA's 4-4-1-1 that I made, which most of the time works.

I'm Bayer Leverkusen btw, second season.
 
It's the best tactic I have ever used since 2014!!!

In my opinion, if your wingers can use both feet well, you can break goal records.
 
Going pretty well for me so far in the lower leagues, although I feel it could use a couple of defensive tweaks. One thing I tried is just having both CD on cover duty. That seems to work a little bit.

Looking at some average positions, I had expected the half back to be a little deeper than he usually is, since the wing backs are usually quite forward and the CD are supposed to spread a little wider to make a 3 man line. I wonder if the role is not quite behaving as expected.

Goals are pouring in, thought I'm conceding a lot too. 4-3, 5-2, 3-2 (loss) scorelines in my first 10 matches.

I have taken to sometimes reducing the mentality to standard or as low as counter. Interestingly it doesn't seem to affect the offense much.

I find this too. Always seems to me that the half back acts as a deeper regista. The role that seems to act more like the 3rd defender is the anchorman or def midfielder (d)

Sometimes I notice the Half Back running around all over the place closing people down, touchline to touchline, for basically no reason; and that's with the instruction to close down less.

I thought about switching to an anchorman but then he can't be instructed to try risky passes, which is a key part of this tactic, those over the top passes that put the IF and WB into the clear.

I'll check the available instructions for the DMD later.

I'm worried that switching the role will still cause the CD to get too narrow and then the tactic will get killed down the flanks (I personally find the ME almost unplayable with the quality of defending crosses and over the top balls anyway, but I certainly don't want to see it get worse).

I can't remember the instructions now for the role but if tight marking is ticked it means he'll mark the nearest player to him. I don't quite understand how the closing down/tackling works on this edition as there seems a naturally aggressive approach to closing down no matter what settings but players still don't seem to tackle. I'm just not a big fan of these 'roles' and would rather have more control over my instructions rather than pre-determined settings
 
Can't believe this tactic isn't hyped up. I've tried most tactics here and other forums and created and tweaked many, but this one...
Even though it looks and plays a little bunched up, a little over the top, it performs amazingly. I also put both defenders on cover, stabilizes the defence pretty well. Also, counter ands even defensive approaches work very well.
My only beef would be with the set pieces. Otherwise 9/10
