This is the Direct Counter attacking tactic ive been working on, its been made with underdog teams in mind as its designed to spoil the game and hit teams on the break with long balls and quick counter attacks. In many ways its a little like Jose Mourinho's style, certainly lots of similarities.
The tactic is a 433/451 depending on how you want to see it:

PLEASE READ:
The tactic is not a plug and play as such, its 2 tactics, one for home matches and one for away matches, very simple. PLEASE USE THE 2 TACTICS ALL THE TIME OR IT WONT WORK!
You can switch to the home tactic for the last 20-30 mins if your losing, as soon as your level though change back to away. I wouldn't advise using the away tactic at home ever.
The system as ive said already is direct and aims to hit teams on the counter, it is very important that the front 3 (particularly the wingers) be as quick as possible. Look for Pace and Acceleration to be above 15.
The rest of the outfield i would suggest be strong, good heading and good tacklers as their job is simply to get the ball and launch it to the front 3. However thats not rule of thumb and ill leave that up to you, a gifted midfielder or 2 wouldn't hurt i suppose.
Dont expect to dominate possession or have a good pass completion rating because your not going to. These tactics are all about beating teams with defensive ugly football.
TESTING:
Im using the tactic with Sheff Wed, currently in my 2nd season in the championship after promotion in the previous season. I dont know how the tactics would work with a top team. They should work with any team though if you have the pace up front.
1st Season with Sheff Wed in League 1 went great, we were expected to do well but we still exceeded all expectations:

Im now in the Championship, expected to finish 22nd but as you can see doing far better than that. If we get up my squad will be cannon fodder in the Prem surely.

NEED TO KNOW:
PITCH SIZE- AS BIG AS POSSIBLE.
NO OPPOSITION INSTRUCTIONS USED.
MATCH PREP WAS HANDLED BY THE ASSISTANT.
I USED NO SHOUTS.
I USED DEFAULT TRAINING.
MAKE SURE YOU USE THE HOME TACTIC FOR EVERY HOME GAME AND THE AWAY TACTIC FOR EVERY AWAY GAME.
YOUR FRONT 3, ESPECIALLY THE WINGERS MUST BE FAST.
This will be my final tactic for FM11 and probably FM altogether. Partly because of the childish stick i get form childish noobs and morons but mainly because i dont really have the time or patience anymore.
Hope you enjoy the tactic. Follow my instructions or it wont work, and give it time.
