I've tried all your tactics fairly extensively TTF and I have to say I still think Supernova (Balanced) V3 is the best base of them all. You can take the back 5 in that one and do what ever you want with the front 5 and be extremely successful imo.
As an example here are my fixtures for 2nd season with Man Utd.

Up until that Liverpool match (2-1 loss) I was trying one of your new tactics that doesn't have a DMC. You can see I was conceding a few and not scoring enough to win, even against some teams I should beat easily, like Dnipro.
After the Liverpool match I changed to Supernova V3 and tweaked the front 5 like this :

Three false 9s and two roaming playmakers suit my world class attacking talent much better. Even though it's much more attacking, with basically just 7 players defending, we hardly concede goals at all.
And I feel like you could probably change the attacking 5 to anything you want and it would probably work (as long as there's some plan to it at least). 41212, 41221 (narrow or wide), play with wingers instead of inside forwards, target man even. I think you could just tweak those 5 to suit your team and you'll overachieve big time, just because the back 5 and the team instructions are perfect.
Those with hawkeyes probably see that I changed the DL as well, but only the mentality to attacking. I always do this. Mostly beause I find there's a so many amazing left wing backs in the game (and it seems a waste not to utilize them), but I also just like symmetry. And it doesn't seem to affect the defense at all imo. I see you've gone that route yourself in the new tactic.
Anyways, I just wanted to share my experience and thank you for this amazing base (Supernova). Having a solid foundation that I can tweak the attacking play from myself is really making the game fun again. So thank you!
And here is the final results of my season with Man Utd - I had to look up what "septuple" means.(H)
