Yeah I've come to realize that a lot of the meta tactics on here are all about to exploit every bit of the match engine and not "realistic" in the sense of how I like to play the game and build tactics. I try to always steer away from all the meta instructions, but I've been here too much at this point..
In my current 10-year save, I've been using this tactic and I've won the Champions League two years a row as a Belgian club, and I've built the best team in the world. I wanted to see how well it does compared to all the other tactics on this site.
The tactic is inspired loosely on Pirlos time at Juventus, where they employed Pirlo in the DM strata, and 3 midfielders in front of him. That's just the basic idea I was going for, the rest isn't based on how Juventus actually played during those years as I haven't studied them.
