I'm only playing the demo and started my first save with West Ham with a d/loaded 4-1-2-2-1 and it was ok but not creating much so I looked at the preset tactics and went with a 4-2-3-1 gegenpress. The only thing I changed was to make sure no players were taking long shots and I went on a brilliant run that left me 5th at the end of the demo.
I then gave the same tactic a go with Arsenal and i'm flying, although I have just lost my first match in the league after 7 straight wins(1-2 away to Liverpool in a game i dominated)
There are a few in game tweaks I've also used, but just basic stuff like going more attacking which actually seems to work.
Only one real issue is that the amc role appears useless so i'm toying with the idea of dropping the amc back into an mc position and see how that goes.
It almost seems like SI have added these tactics this year to actually work, unlike previous versions.
