Yeah, I tried the Brendan Roger's system with my Newcastle squad and failed horribly. I put it down to the fact that my current NUFC squad on FM15 are terribad compared to the FM14 side I had developed to play with it.
Not an exact copy, no, but pretty similar. Same formation and same philosophy. But I ended up tweaking it a bit, changed the formation slightly (pulled an MC back to DM) to make up for defensive weaknesses.
