I'm back. As promised. I'm using Sunderland. I've been trying to look for a tactic that really suits my squad and at the same time getting results. I've browsed through & used quite an amount of tactics in here but none works for my Sunderland team. All I ever see in those posts/threads are people testing the tactic(s) using big teams & those famous teams eg. the BPL top 6 teams, dortmund, b.munich, RMadrid, Barca etc. For heaven's sake they're using ****** top teams, of-******-course any tactic will work for them but not for those using lower tier teams like Sunderland.
Then I came across yours, read through it, decided to give it a go. I'll stop right here and let the pictures speak for itself. I started using your tactic mid Oct2014.

Normally people seldom post the following pic but I think I should post this, for this one time only.

Now, Sunderland is not rich. I don't get 10s of millions quids to spend every season. Players in the squad are really ******, no disrespect to Sunderland fans. But your tactic give me results with the players that I have at hand. For your benefits, here's my existing squad:

All in all, you saved my Sunderland from brink of relegation, saved me from getting the sack and my players are happy again.
Basically, I just plug N' play your tactic. Everything else is handled by my assman. One thing to note is that some games I tend to lose in terms of possession % but my shot-on-goal & shot-on-target rates are really comparable to the opposition, if not better.
I'm in Jan2015, hunting for free players to come in the summer. I'll report here again after season ends.
OP, big thanks again!
