Back Story
So I have tried a lot of formations on this website, and have found the ones based around a solid defence have always been the most effective for me! This is why when I saw Di Martinos Pyramid formation (find here = http://www.fm-base.co.uk/forum/shar...actic-pyramid-solid-defense-good-offence.html) I was interested, I started it with a new save with Norwich who were predicted near enough relegation! Found the original tactic was quite tasty but problems were that the full backs got horrendous ratings so I thought that the 3 DMs were overkill so decided to drop one of them to CB and then move the fullbacks up to wingbacks set as CWBs! Worked incredibly and got some awesome results, even games I lose I am playing so well and getting CCCs and not giving up CCCs! Managed to give away 6 penalties in 10 games so I also got rid of the get stuck in instruction and changed it to stay on feet which greatly improved this problem!
2nd season this tactic blew up, I beat City, United and Arsenal away from home! I have a squad with a probable average CA of around 140-145! I won the FA cup beating Spurs in the final and I also won the europa league after beating Arsenal 7-2 on aggregate in the quarters, then going on to beat OM in the final! If that wasnt enough I managed to also secure 4th and a champions league space, this is with the hectic schedule I had because of both cups and some key injuries I am gobsmacked! Also I set the striker to shoot less often as he was not scoring, since I changed it he has been a lot better in front of goal.
Training
With the training I did tactics until fully fluid then I did all out attacking in general and attacking movement as match training as the defensive base is so solid on this formation! This was until I started conceding corners which is when I changed it to def. set pieces. I also changed the set pieces to jassars set up because di martino had callamitys and I just feel that the one that is on jassars topic is better.
Key Players
This tactic has importance in every role! But the strikers and Wing backs are ultimate to attacking success in the first season Van Wolfy finished top scorer in the Prem and then I signed Rhodes who is currently top scorer in the prem! The wing backs need to be strong all round, Olsson for Norwich was perfect but in the 2nd season I managed to upgrade to Gibbs and RWB I got Corchia for a bargain price! Your CMs need to be able to finish as well, they chip in with around 10 goals a season!

Finally I use this home and away no changes, I dont use OIs so you guys can try that as well? Also most of the credit should go to Di Martino as he created the majority of this just these tweaks gave great results! Please let me know whether the tactic link is working or not? I am new to this! Also would love to hear how you guys get on with this!
