Hi Koflok. Firstly, thanks a lot for making this tactic. It was always my favorite in 10, and I'm hoping to use it for a long time in 11 too.
I started using it on a new game with Arsenal, and it worked really well. Won the league, the CL, and the cup that season. Winning that much is boring though, so I decided to try it out in a more challenging game.
I started fresh as Boston United, who were projected to finish 8th in the Blue Square North. Their players were all **** though, so I sold almost all of them and started signing as many free players as I could that fit the roles of the tactic. I managed to fill most of them nicely, but the one problem I've found in the lower leagues is that's it's almost impossible to find good AML/AMR in general, and even harder to find good AML/AMR that fit the requirements of this tactic. I managed to find one though, and I used him as an inside forward on the right, and just switched my AML to a winger on support duty since his stats fit that better.
Things started out rough while the team got used to the tactic, and I lost a lot of games early in the season. As things got on though, it got a lot better. I made a bunch of the tweaks that were recommended in the thread, and I started using Standard away/Attacking at home. I ended up finishing 5th in the league and winning the promotion playoff.
My second season, I signed some better players because I had a much bigger wage budget, and I ended up finishing 11th in the Blue Square Premier, despite being predicted to get relegated.
A big problem I had in my first 2 seasons was conceding off of corners, but after the second season I switched to heavy man marking on corners and that improved dramatically, I barely conceded any goals off corners after that unless my keeper made a mistake. This, combined with signing a couple more good players let me finish 3rd in the Blue Square Premier in my third season, and again I won the promotion playoff and got myself into League 2.
I'm now in my 4th season, my first in League 2, and things are going well. I'm hovering around mid-table about halfway through the season, just bellow the last playoff spot. I'm still having a lot of trouble finding 2 good inside forwards, but I've found that 1 inside forward and 1 winger works pretty well. I've scored a ton of goals where my inside forward would cut into the box and score off a cross from my winger.
I just picked up V3, and I'll start testing that out today. It's pretty similar to what I was using after the tweaks, so I don't expect many drastic differences.
On the whole, the tactic is great provided you can tweak it to suit your team. It doesn't score as many goals in the lower leagues (I rarely score more than 2-3 goals, even at home) but it gets the wins, and that's all that matters. I'm really looking forward to your updates, and I'll be the first in line to test them out when you release them.
