Still using this tactic with Huddersfield with great succes! Since i have a couple of regens that can only play cm i decided to tweak the tactic a little. I've found that putting a dm in the cm slot with the 'roaming playmaker' role and putting the dm on defend duty makes the tactic a little more dynamic. I feel like the cm picks up a lot of loose balls on the edge of the opponents box, while the dm on defend helps the defence out when the opponent tries to play direct counter attacks. The roaming playmaker also provides a great passing option when trying to build from the back, he is often able to pick the ball up in our own half and go on a run or switch the ball to the other flank. I can't say that this improves the tactic overall, maybe it just proves how stable the base of the deep sicilian v5 is!
Thanks for the advice. I have a lot of CMs as well and now I have a way to use them in their natural position =)
I wonder if this tactic would work with both of the DMs moved to the CM slot.
