Before I get into all the information about the tactic, I opened FM13 and basically used the sliders to get the team instructions and player instructions and also ported over the set piece instructions that are working a treat from corners!
Also, I had great success with this tactic in FM13 won the premier league unbeaten 1st season and in 2nd season and still unbeaten, so I therefore decided to see if I can re-create the tactic and get the same success on FM14 with the tactic, which I have done as I will show you below!

All the roles I have kept the same and have changed nothing from the FM 13 tactic.
Team Instructions

Some things I were not able to port directly because of conflicting things or the options on the sliders are not available in the team instructions!
Tips for the tactic
The tactic is originally set on the Attacking mentality but if I score I change to Counter and turn on Retain Possession. If I happen to be loosing I switch to Overload and I usually end up scoring and then I change back to either Attacking or Counter depending on my opponent.
For opposition instructions I leave it to my assistant who is Martin Keown but if you do not have an assistant without 15 defending I recommend using the following opposition instructions;
AMs: Show onto weaker foot, Always tight mark
ST: Show onto weaker foot, Always tight mark
Players with under 95% condition: Hard tackling (as they're more likely to get injured if you hard tackle them)
For training in pre-season I train Tactics as the general and match training on high intensity and during the season I always use Balanced general training and defensive positioning.
Tips for using this tactic with smaller teams
As you can see a few posts below I am playing through with Sassuolo testing the tactic with a team who are predicted to get relagated. From this save I have found a few tips for you if you are using a smaller team.
Firstly I start every game on Counter and with the CMs as DMs. Also, if you go down a goal dont be afraid to Overload because 8 time out of 10 with this tactic you get a goal back within 25 mins and if I do get back onto level terms I then switch back to counter.
Also with training, instead of using Balanced and Defending Positioning I use Defending and Defending Positioning

So as you can see Raikan's original tactic in FM13 worked great for me so I decided to make it with the new tactic system in FM14 and had the same success and hope you guys get the same success! If you have any questions please ask me down below and also if you want any screenshots added to this post let me know!
