I am not expecting this to enter the hall of fame as it's purely a non-strikerless tactic, but hopefully this preforms well in the game engine regardless.
Using a meta 5-back system with an ACB, this means technically there is no rest defense but pressing less often with the backline allows for efficient transition speeds. Goals most often conceded from counter-attacks. OCBs stay wide.

Wanted to create a system for online saves where strikerless systems are banned.

Hey! For my 4-2-3-1 (2 DM) attacking tactic — I am showcasing my test with Heidenheim who are expected to be relegated. I also managed to get Levante to 5th in the LaLiga in case anyone wanted to know about league variance.
____________
The core ideology surrounding this tactic is that we want to positionally crowd the box, and cause out-wide overloads. In order to achieve this, we have to maintain an aggressive press whilst having a risky high-line.
____________
As you can see above — Heidenheim managed to comfortly secure a spot in the Champions League despite being predicted to be relegated.
____________
With our attacking approach we managed to secure a 2nd place spot in the overall league xG table AND the league's xPTs.
____________
Here is our squad selection. A major outlier here is that our wing-backs are racking up tons of assists, and even a few goals.
____________
This tactic is able to punch way above it's weight despite being on the "attacking" mentality which isn't viewed as meta for a relegation favorite.
____________
Our data-hub also backs up our attacking strength. We're preforming at near, if not the best, in the shots per game area with our xG proving that it's not all terrible shots that FM26 likes to do.
