Used this in my 4th season as a base tactic for Tottenham as I had trouble accomadating my world class midfielders in my old formation.
Defence is amazing - conceeded fewer than games played - at work so can't remember exact amount.
Fullbacks are prone to freezing with the ball at their feet - hold up ball selected the cause. untick this and the defence falls apart though.
DMC makes vital tackles, good average rating overall.
CM's & AMC's ratings are poor over the season with few goals or assists - might be match enging problem. Have tried Willian, Oscar, Ozil, Modric, Pastore and none of them have made the spot their own. Heart breaking to see 6.86 rating for a season from them!
LIF changed to accomadte Bale - changed to winger set up.
AMR - changed settings to inside forward as they were ineffective. Too deep, not enough attacking contribution, slowed play down.
Poacher - You've got this nailed! Though again, the games too reliant on him. 1 bad game and tactic can't offer other attacking options.
Play can be very slow and sometimes pointless.
Mentality, moved to +2 attacking but am thinking of tweaking players slightly to get more goals.
Allows use of ever playing position.
Guy above makes good points and it's because of the balance am afraid to tweak it too much as it may ruin the defensive side of things, which, if that were to happen, would ruin the tactic as it's not attacking enough to recover.
