The Challenger Tactic
Well I was originally going to wait until the season is over but having just got a takeover (unusally fast) for Everton my testing season with them will be now my new save to play, in addition i've had a few people asking me to upload the tactic.
So, having been influenced by watching several matches this season (I have an Everton season ticket) I decided to set out and create a tactic that stretches the opposition team and play balls through the middle whilst still using the wingers. I'm at the half way point of the season having only lost once, to Man Utd 1-0 from a set piece, and have now found myself challenging for the title in the first season... Remarkable I have to say. Heres some screenshots of the formation, table, results and key games.
Edit: I've just been looking at the stats for my profile, having only played as Everton and with this tactic so far I have only drew 12 games and lost 5 in 55 games. Thats roughly 9 (W)-2(D)- 1(L) ratio.

Match Preparation
Pre-Season: Very High Teamwork
During Season: Average-High Teamwork, Attacking Movement (if you want more goals)
OI: Handled by assistant manager
Pitch Size: Maximum allowed
IMPORTANT!
Ive been experimenting in the next season with this save and, depending on which striker role your striker plays best as (e.g. Demba Ba - advanced forward), simply change the role of the striker in the tactic to that role, it gets even more goals!
PHILOSOPHIES!
- Winning change to standard in the 70-75th minute to minimise conceeding late on
- Team cant score, swtich to attacking around the 60th minute, 75th minute switch to overload
- Away from home and/or struggling switch to standard or counter (use your judgement)
