Game version: 10.2.0
Tactic version: Goals Galore 2010 (Leeds, Nov 2012)
I started a new game and decided to use your tactic. I am playing Sportul, in Romanian Second League. I consider the true test of a tactic comes when playing small teams.
I got promoted the first season, no biggie. I had a great squad anyway (I'm brilliant when it comes to transfers). Now, second season, First Division, I am 4th and had a 8 or 9 matches unbeaten run.
16 matches: 9W 4D 3L 30-15
Now I may not score as much as other teams, but my defense is pretty good, actually one of the best in the leagues. That's because I don't have really good strikers, so I need to play more defensively. First off, the strategy is Control at Home matches and Counter at Away matches. My strikers have closing down set to always, so they put pressure on their defense all the time. If I see the other team has too much possession or has chances, I start the "retain possession" thingy during the match.
Most of the time I end up banging one in the second half and winning 1-0 or 2-1.
If I go down 1-0 or 2-0 at half time I switch to control, the AM becomes an Inside Forward and the DM a deep lying playmaker, That usually wins me the game.
Now, I got a question for you. My strikers as I said aren't great, so I am using one as Target Man and the other as Attacking Forward. The problem is that the Attacking Forward one rarely scores, should I change his role or anything? Do you have any suggestions?
Cheers,

PS. Don't mind all the noobs that start complaining about the tactics, as I said, there is no such thing as Plug&Play tactics anymore, so they just simply suck.
