dakiri said: Yes, this tactic is probably my favorite of the top options on the table right now. I've played quite a bit with Zaz Blue, Void, and my own Cyclops tactics, and dabbled with some of the others like Phoenix. Anything in the high 6s or 7s is going to be really successful, and it's hard with the eye test alone to see what's best. But 1 thing that most of the top tactics have in common is that the goals "mostly" come from players in the middle of the pitch, and wide players are mostly there for supporting play.
Afterlife plays very differently, with the two WMs contributing nearly as many goals as the Shadow Strikers up top. It just feels really different and varied when compared to other top choices. My own complaint is the "very narrow" instruction, which sometimes leads to 6 players all crammed into a small space and a lot of blocked shots...but I think it's definitely better than the alternative here, and if the players are creative and smart enough it can lead to some really attractive quick passes/combinations. It's a really fun tactic to watch. Expand
In my opinion, the best part of this tactic is to have two DMs instead of one DM and one CM, meaning you have an easier time building a balanced squad.

I think when it come to the difficulty of building a team for a tactic then Void tactic is the winner because for it you need having only 5 different positions instead of having 7-8 different positions as other tactics require. Also, it uses AMs, CMs, DMs and there're many players who can cover multiple positions at the same time like CM and DM or AM and CM so it makes building your team even more easier.
I have just plugged this tactic in my save, currently in 2036 so i have an absolute beast of a side....won my first game 8-0 with all 8 goals coming from the wingers. Is this where the majority of the goals come from with this tactic?

For me the Shadow Strikers and Wingers score almost at the same rate.

Change mentality to cautious and add slow pace down to goalkeeper. You can also tell them to waste time often and stay on feet, but that will have a slightly bigger impact on your performance. If you don't care about performance because you are already winning by a lot, then you can also lower tempo to at least 50%.

Some people have tired a similar formation and it did really well
4-4-2 ( 2xDMs )
With Monaco I finished 1st 99 points, won the Cup too and in CL final now vs Liverpool.
With Inter Milan I'm now testing exact tactic but moved SS both to AF and changed nothing else, first game in Serie A won 9-0 hahaha

Excellent thank you for the response and for the amazing tactic
What about OI?
Should i give it to my Assistant ? or leave it clear? cause i noticed that it may change the player roles at field.

Hi,
I don't use OIs.
Is there anyway to save some energy to my players for next matches while winning by 2 goals or more ?

it's better put the wingers to train as a WN or as a winger?
