This is the most stable tactic (OP) at the moment for my team (REUS) in the Spanish League (only use simulate matches). Kinda "realistic" statistics: DLF 40 goals, SS 20 goals/assist, CM 15 goals/assist.
Does overachieve, but you will not win the league or in Europe with crappy players unlike the cheat (strikerless tactics).
However, I do struggle against big teams e.g. Manchester United, Real Madrid etc. in CL. The counter version does not work properly for me.
Knap, do you have any suggestions how to tweak the OP tactic against big teams?
