INTRO
The tactic is based upon a 4-2-3-1 tactic, with a deep defensive line - two fullbacks on support, two central defenders on defend, a defensive midfielder in anchor role, a midfielder on attack, two inside forwards on support, a attacking midfielder on support and upfront a advanced forward on attack creating a good balance in the team. I chose to keep the mentality on standard and a rigid fluidity.
During my period testing the tactic I gave it a go with teams all the way down to Skrill Premier with good results. The tactic isn't a diablo, it will never be - you will encounter losses and draws, no doubt about that. But you will play fun football, create chances and score a lot of goals IF you got the right players for the positions.
I have decided to use my career with Doncaster, which I just finished my first season as a prime example. Doncaster is predicted nr 23 in the Championship, a division I think is the most difficult there is on FM2014 - it got loads of teams, both good ones and bad ones (underdog-factor will struck you!)
Doncaster got more or less nothing to use in the transfer market at first, which is also a very hard challenge and there are not that many players you can sell with a nice profit without losing key players.
I brought in Stefan Strandberg as a DM (Trained him DM after 4-5 months) - Kasper Kusk as a AML (Amazing young player that is either footed), Darnel Situ from Swansea as backup CB and John Pantsil as a DR. During the January window I was handed a better transfer budget (probably my position in the league) that gave me the opportunity buying Thomas Drage, AMC from Tromso - Nicolaj Thomsen, MC from AaB - Pontus Jansson, CB from Malmo - All young players that wouldn't impact my team that much this season.

It is IMPORTANT to understand that your teams familiarity with the tactic NEEDS to be fluid in order to really get those great results! .. or at least nearly fluid. The team needs to understand how they are gonna play.. logical, isn't it?
Also - Pace is vital. If you got a advanced forward with great pace and acceleration he`ll rip apart most defenses, same goes for your inside forwards. Have in mind a player with 8 in pace for Skrill Premier is very good and a player with 16+ pace in Premier League is decent as well
To many long shots from your AMC? And crossings behind your CBs?
Change your AMC to Shoot Less Often and change the role of one of your CBs to CB Cover instead of Defend, the defender with the most pace.
Other tweaks:
Playing away against a stronger team? Try counter instead of standard. Playing at home against a weaker team? Try attacking instead of standard. A very rigid style can work for some teams as well.
Enjoy everyone! And post your results! Thanks
