Firstly i'd like to say that this tactic has some really solid foundation. After playing with it for a while, i saw the opportunity to mould it into a hybrid with another of my favourite tactics this year, 433 Go for it! (
https://fm-base.co.uk/resources/dnz-433-go-for-it.5959/) - which uses a front 3, where the two wide strikers are Pressing Forwards on defensite duty. The end result is a kind of crazy looking 5113, that surprised me in how effective it can be!

The key players are the Poacher, who should be tall, strong and merciless, the WB's, who whould have good passing, crossing, speed and defensive attributes and the DM who should really be a complete all round player. Tonali is a beast jere, raking up 14 assists in 19 appearances:

The first version of the tactic uses regular CB's taking fewer risks and dribbling less, however i'm just now starting a test with them as BPD's with more dribbling and take more risks to verify if they perform better offensively without taking away from their defensive output, which has been very strong.
This half season has gone so well that i thought i'd just post it and share with anyone that wants to give it a try.
Thanks again to both tactic creators for developing and sharing some great concepts.
