Testing out this tactic with my Lazio save.
Played 6 pre-season games against easy teams to boost my team's morale. I didn't like the playmaker at CM in the Goal&Glory tactic so I've been using the ultra-attacking one(or super heavy/whatever it's called, with the playmaker at AMC) Started off with a 5-0 win to Genoa away, came home to beat Juve 3-2(thanks to a freak goal which was supposed to be a cross). Had Inter at the San Siro next, started off with the attacking one, and I did score before half time, but my striker got sent off right after the break so I shifted to the underdog and managed to win 1-0. Drew 1-1 with Napoli next and then had an awful performance against Cagliari(we were the home team, but drew 1-1 and had only 1 shot on target and 47% possession)
So, I started really well but results have been worsening, and
some players don't play well at all even though they have the stats(Klose for example has an average 6.1 rating in the league even though he should be an awesome AF according to his stats) However, my other striker has been scoring although he's suspended for 3 games having been sent off at Inter and my AML Zarate has been scoring consistently as well(even though you said the AMR scores more, my AMR has been leading my team in assists). Defensively, my CBs have been *****, atleast one of them gets a rating below 6.2 at the end of the game, and I almost always have to sub them off before they make a mistake that leads to a goal.
Could this be because I've been using the more attacking tactic instead of the original Goal&Glory?
Anyway, overall it's a solid tactic, which got some good wins(against Juve and Inter) I'll play more games and keep you posted with the results.
Edit: For anyone looking for a player to play the DM(s) role, get Albin Ekdal from Cagliari, you can snap him up for just 2.9m or so, and even though he's only 22 he's one of my best and most consistent performers, good on defense and manages to pull off some pretty good passes that lead to goals.
Edit2: My RCB has 17 jumping and 16 heading, yet he's not scored even one goal in the league :/
