At the OP you'll find "Inside Forwards" versions of the tactics and "Inside Forward + Wide Midfielder" versions of the tactics.
"Inside Forward + Wide Midfielder" versions are better than "Inside Forwards" versions.
IMPORTANT:
If you are going to use "Inside Forward + Wide Midfielder” versions with "Instant Result" then you should know that there's a issue when the assistant manager changes the Wide Midfielder role in the tactic to other roles for MR position that has the highest rating.
I found some solution for the issue and in order to minimize the negative effect from the issue and get almost the same quality performance when you use "Instant Result" as if you played the match in full, these conditions should be met:
1) Players that you use at MR position should have "Winger" role at the 1st place at the roles ratings list in order to avoid possible change "Wide Midfielder" role to "Wide Playmaker" role:
2) Players that you use at MR position should have "Very Strong/Strong/Fairly Strong" rating for the left foot:
Please notice when you use "Instant Result" then the assistant manager makes substitutions during matches so all players that can be used as possible substitutions at MR position should met the conditions too.
Here some tips when to you the 4-2-3-1 and 4-4-3 tactics:
If you see that your opponent uses a defensive formation with DM then you can use the 4-2-3-1 tactic without any fear even when you are an underdog and your opponent is a favorite.
Here's an example of defensive formations with DM:
But when you see that your opponent uses an attacking formation with AM or 2 Strikers against you then you need to be very careful here and correctly evaluate your strength and the strength of your opponents, for example, if you play an away match vs top club such as Arsenal, Man Utd, Chelsea, Real Madrid, Barca, Man City, Liverpool, Tottenham and some other and you see that these clubs use an attacking formation agsint you and if you go with the 4-2-3-1 tactic then the match result might be unpredictable because you'll be creating a lot of scoring chances and your opponents also will be creating a lot of scoring chances against you and if you are unlucky at the finishing then you might lose heavily but if you go with 4-3-3 then you greatly limit the amount of scoring chances for you opposition and there’s probability for draw or if you lose than no more than 1 goal.
Here's an example of attacking formations with AM and 2 Strikers:
"IMPORTANT: IF YOU DON'T WANT BOTHER WITH "SWITCHING" TACTICS AND YOU WANT TO USE ONLY ONE TACTIC THEN GO FOR THE 4-2-3-1 TACTIC, YOU'LL BE GETTING BETTER RESULT WITH IT THEN IF YOU USED ONLY THE 4-3-3 TACTIC"
AML should be right footed.
AMR // MR should be left footed or have at least "Fairly Strong/Strong" for the left foot.
"PARAGON ( 4-2-3-1 ) TACTIC: MCR (Box To Box ) should be right footed or he should have at least "Fairly Strong/Strong" rating for the right foot, if you have a left footed player for MCR ( Box To Box ) position you can “mirror” the tactic and drag the Box To Box Midfielder to MCL slot and drag CM (Defend) to MCR slot"
"PARAGON ( 4-3-3 ) TACTIC: MCR should be right footed or he should have at least "Fairly Strong/Strong" rating for the right foot, MCL should be left footed or he should have at least "Fairly Strong/Strong" rating for the left foot"

WASTE TIME TACTIC:
Use this tactic in order to protect your lead and kill the game. Please notice that this tactic doesn't give 100% guaranty that you won't concede it only greatly reduces the chances of it happens so you should it wisely, for example, when you play against much weaker team and lead only by 1 goal then it makes sense to wait for more solid lead at least by 2 goals before to start use this tactic because everything might happens and it’s always frustrating to conceded a fluke goal at last minutes and miss win.
WASTE TIME TACTIC---->TFF PARAGON ( WASTE TIME ) V3
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Opposition Instructions are very important for the tactic so make sure you set it as recommended
Only ML/MR positions should take the corners
- Always play your right footed Central Defenders at DCR position and your left footed Central Defenders at DCL because only then they are able to start your attacks with accurate passes at their flank and don't clear the ball just high up field. Also, please notice that it's enough if your central defender that plays at DCL position has only "Fairly Strong" rating for the left foot so he shouldn't be left footed in this case.
- DL should be left footed.
- DR should be right footed.
HOW TO DEAL WITH RED AND YELLOW CARDS:
When a player gets a straight red card then in 90% of cases it’s due to his hidden attributes – “Dirtness” so you can do nothing about and it’s just a random factor in the game.
BUT you can avoid a red card that a player gets because of the 2nd yellow card and in order to do that you can add "Ease Off Tackles" PI to a player that already has one yellow card or you can substitute him.
Also, If you don’t happy with the amount of yellow card that your players get in matches then you can remove "Tackle Harder" PI from all positions but please notice that the tactic’s performance will suffer in this case because nothing is free.
What to do when you got a player sent off:
If you got a red card then remove AMC
OPPOSITION INSTRUCTIONS:
TRANING AND MATCH PREPARATION:
1) During the pre-season play no less than 5-7 friendly matches and I recommend to choose weaker opponents in order to guaranty easy wins in friendly matche and have "Superb" morale for your players when the season starts.
2) Put the tactic into all 3 tactic slots because it makes the tactic familiarity grows much faster.
3) Choose "Match Tactics" focus for the match preparation because it makes tactic familiarity grows faster.
4) When the tactic familiarity reaches about 90% change the match preparation to "Def. Position".
Individual Training Focus:
STCL - Deep Lying Forward
AML/AMR - Inside Forwards
AMC - "Advanced Playmaker" ( additional focus might be "Finishing" or "Long Shots" if these attributes are less than "13" )
MCR( Central Midfielder ( Attack ) ) - "Advanced Playmaker" (also if the player has "Positioning" attribute less than "12" than set "Additional Focus Training" – Positioning)
MCR( Box To Box Midfielder ) - "Advanced Playmaker" (also if the player has Positioning less than "13" than set "Additional Focus Training" – Positioning)
MCL(CM Defend) - Ball Winning Midfielder ( additional focus might be "Technique", "First Touch" or "Passing" if these attributes are low )
DM - Defensive Midfielder ( additional focus might be "Technique" or "First Touch" if these attributes are low )
CDL/CDR – Central Defender
DL/DR – Complete Wing Back
GK – Goalkeeper

RECOMMENDED ATTRIBUTES FOR THE POSITIONS
First of all, if you are going to use the filters then you should turn OFF the "Attributes Masking" setting when you start a new save otherwise the filters would be useless.
Here's a screenshot with an information how you can turn it OFF when you start a new:
DOWNLOAD THE FILTERS -->TFF FILTERS PARAGON V7
Few tips how to use the filters:
First of all, you need to have 100% scouting knowledge for these major football nations(you can send your scouts to inspect these nation or buy scouts who already possesses knowledge about these nations): Spain, Portugal, England, Italy, Germany, France, Holland, Brazil, Greece, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey.
In case if you find it hard to find players through the filters here's what you can do there's an option that allows you to "easy match conditions" in the Scouting menu and you can "easy" match conditions by 1 condition in most cases it will double the pool of players that show in the search field but you need to pay attention what parameter is missing and for how much. I would recommend avoid to have difference more than 1-2 points away.
This way you can also find young talents for your team.
