I have taken a lot of time finding tactics but this tacit work and i have finally done it when i got Blyth promoted undefeated from Blue Square North to Blue Square Premier and im still undefeated.
The League
The Tactic
The League Of Now
Individual instructions
Goalkeeper (GK)
Defender Collect. And set a right defender as a target for this action. I like the way how it works in <input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden">Football Manager 2009.
DC, DR, DL, MRC, FC
All the same.
Defensive Midfielder (DMC)
Defensive midfields stands on a near post during attacking corners. It will results in some goals from him. But he should have good values of Jumping and Strength for that.
Left Central Midfielder (MLC)
Small but quite significant change: Long Shots are set from Often to Mixed because players in FM 2009 strike Long Shots too often with low percentage of accuracy.
Wingers (AMR, AML)
One but very important change here! Cross Ball was set to Rarely. And in combination with team passing focused by the flank it results in the perfect effect:
Good values of Finishing and Composure are advised not only for wingers but also for flank backs. Because flank back will have opportunities to shoot being uncovered after winger delivers ball to him.
Using tactics in away matches
In the most of all matches I don’t do changes in this attacking <input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden">tactics. But in the matches with more strong teams this approach doesn’t work. We are missing too many attacks and counter attacks. Therefore I’m forced to do changes for away matches with high skilled teams.
I do only few things that increase performance of my team:

Wingers (AMR, AML)
One but very important change here! Cross Ball was set to Rarely. And in combination with team passing focused by the flank it results in the perfect effect:
1. Winger gets ball on a flank.
2. He moves down the flank and don’t do cross when reaches the line.
3. He begins to dribble to the box and only after that makes decision: pass or shoot.
3a. If winger decides he has one more option apart from team-mates in the box – it’s about flank defender who joins attack and is uncovered at that moment being on the corner of the box.
In short, wingers play more important role in this FM 2009 <input name="IL_MARKER" type="hidden">tactics. Therefore the should have high Dribbling, Speed, Passing, Technique, Flair. Cuts Inside PPM is great to have as well. 2. He moves down the flank and don’t do cross when reaches the line.

- play with Defensive Line setting it deeper.
