JP Woody's Wenger Style Tactics 12.2.2

I decided to start a new save and selected Roma as the team I was going to test this tactic out with. With Totti as the Treq and Bojan as the Poacher I thought the team selection was a good one, even though Roma do have slightly below average wingers.

Pre-season went well, won 4 games and drew 1.

Then the season started. In 14 games across all competitions I only won 2 matches, drew 1 and lost the rest which ultimately led to me being sacked in the fastest amount of time I have personally experienced in any FM game.

I will not be using this tactic again. I'd like to hear from anyone who has used this tactic with Roma to see if it is one of those cases where a tactic just simply doesn't work with a team/in a league or if I was just struck with the worst streak of results I have experienced.
 
I have just completed my first season using this tactic with my Ajax save.I won the league with three games to spare but had a torrid time in Europe and the Dutch Cup.Mounier El Hamdoui scored 37 goals from the poacher position and Eriksen could of been made for the AMC role.
I am going to try this tac with a few other teams around Europe starting with Schalke although i quite fancy a crack at Roma after reading the previous post.
Good tactic......(for me anyway)

That is unbelievably bad. I don't know whats happened but i wouldn't expect any tactic to perform so badly with Roma. Maybe its a team-talk or a team morale thing, i don't know. I'm very tempted to try with Roma myself though to find out if its really that bad.

I can't really pin down what went wrong to be honest. I think after the first few loses the team just went into a downwards spiral or maybe it is just bad luck. I'm half tempted to start again and I'm sure we would see vastly different results.
 
Looking good so far. Won 3 out of 4 games of the season, 5-1 victory against Bayern was particularly impressive. Will keep you posted. I'm playing with Dortmund.
 
After some questionable defensive displays I've decided to tweak it a little. Changed one of the CBs to a covering role so the team is no longer using the offside trap. Results highlighted from Ajax onwards are how its done.
