Great testing and interesting input. I am curious which tweaks you added to the tactic. See if you could improve the tactic and let me know!
in 4-1-2-2-1, I changed the CM with attack duty into an Advanced Playmaker with Support Duty and I play there Adryan Tavares, my playmaker from the previous season, whom I thaught to "try killer balls often", "come deep to get ball", changed his instruction from "pass it shorter" to "more direct passes". I changed one of the wide players to "Raumdeuter", which has the "Move into Channels" included in the instruction set. The thing is that the Raumdeuter is a bit absent from the game (maybe because of the player in that position who is not a natural for this role) and also I think that it will work better if I leave two CM's and a Regista to pass from deep. I don't know yet, I still have to test it in different situations, but it happened a few times while testing against Newcastle
