Alright so, start of 2nd season, won promotion. I wanted to see how does it work with poacher during friendlies so I experimented a bit. Tactic now (for me at least) works slightly better in the offense and the defence is still a fortress.
Decided to play against top 4 clubs in Belgium just to be sure it works.

The 2-2 draw was totally undeserved, they had two shots entire game (one free kick and one header after corner). And agasint Gent 0-0 you will see below.

Every other game so far I kept opposition to under 5 shots while having myself always minimum 15 out of which over half are always from inside the box.
And this is my squad, nothing too fancy with 0 budget and only 80k wages I have to rely on loans. 10th position predicted this season.

So, these are my changes:
-Using Poacher insted of F9
-Added "roam from position" to poacher
-Removed "Run into channels" from AMC
-In attacking corners put the defender that was attacking far post to challenge GK now
-Widen the play, now it is set on "fairly wide"
-Work ball into box
As of training I use:
attacking movement, against teams you expect will park the bus (read scout reports), usually those teams use 4 defenders and 2 DMCs
teamwork against teams of similar or lower quality but which don't come to defend against you.
defensive pos. against strong opponents or tough away matches
During the game I spam passionately-Encourage, after 75th minute concentrate or tighten up. If I see my opponents can't even get across the half, change mentality to
control. If I am in 1 goal lead against stronger opponent, change team shape to
flexible.
