Hey, well this is my first time uploading a tactic on here. I've been working on lots of different tactics for a while with different teams, in all different divisions. I've finally came to a conclusion with a good solid tactic, made with Brighton in the 1st season. Brighton were predicted around mid-table, and currently after 30 games I'm in position.
I've had some really good results with this tactic, such as beating Norwich 1-0 away from home, beating Huddersfield 2-1 at home and beating Millwall 1-0 at home and many more.
This contains 3 sets of tactics, a 4-4-2, 4-1-3-2, and a 4-3-1-2, this is for against teams who play well vs 4-4-2 formations. The 4-1-3-2 is best used for away games and the 4-3-1-2 is best for home games.
As with every tactic, each position needs certain attributes for players..
The 4-4-2:
Goalkeeper
Key stats:
One-on-one's
Reflexes
Concentration
Left Back (Wing Back - Mentality depends on your player)
Key stats:

Key stats:

/B]

So that's the tactics done. Now for the tactical help in game...
When leading either at home or away no matter what the circumstances switch to 'Contain'.
If losing home or away switch to 'Standard'. If this doesn't work swap formations to the 4-3-1-2 Home.
Against bigger sides with good goalscorers and skillfull players, Arsenal for example, switch to the 4-1-3-2 Away formation and play with 'Contain'. (This worked for me against Southampton)
For teams with a 5 man defence or one of the best defences in the league but not great infront of goal, switch to the 4-3-1-2 Away
I'd advise using the 4-4-2 in any game in England unless your backroom advice says the opposition play well vs a 4-4-2 formation.
I hope you all give it a bash and give me feedback whether positive or negative. I will be looking to improve this and it is in 'Beta stage'
Please give it atleast 5-6 games for it to work. This won't work instantly, as most tactics won't.
Table and results. Enjoy
