I have relented! Fine this attacking shape is clearly the best so I might as well have a go at messing with the player instructions like everybody else.

Shout out to whomever has contributed by this tactics development. ZaZ and Gerrard special shout outs to you, at some point I will get a poacher in a better tactic I promise you!

Basically this formation has more dribbling and more shooting from the most advanced players with less shooting from the others.

Liverpool had a blistering season finishing 1st with 103 points, scoring 148 goals and only conceding 18. They also won the Champions League, Carabao Cup and the Community Shield.
Leeds predicted 16th finished 7th narrowly missing out on europe
Burnley predicted 18th, finished 6th and claim a conference league spot!
Parma predicted 16th finished 8th, narrowly missing europe
Oviedo, predicted 19th finish 8th, narrowly missing out on europe.
Shout outs for any relevant usage from other tactics from ZaZ, Baz, and Gerrard.

Playing a more recognisable formation but still looking to have a similar attacking presence as other top striker-less formations. This formations seemingly seems to suit 'weaker' teams over top teams, might be due to what formations and tactics the supposed 'weaker' sides face from the AI. Could be a top tactic when looking to survive after promotion.

Tested with;
Leipzig won the league 91 points 99 goals 80 GD, reached the Pokal final.
Sporting won the league 92 points 86GD, won the league cup and were Champions League finalists.
Man City won the league 85 points 71 GD, won the Carabao cup. Haaland scored 64 goals.
Mallorca finish 3rd after been predicted 15th.
Liverpool finish 3rd with only 3 losses but 15 draws. Win the Community Shield, FA Cup and Carabao Cup.
Leipzig walk to a Bundesliga title
Burnley survive finishing 14th, someone else however suffers a shock relegation
Newly promoted Oviedo predicted to finish 19th, finish 3rd!
Everton finish 5th
Mallorca finish 4th after impressive season instead of fighting for a midtable finish
Sporting win the league and all Portuguese cups. Only one league defeat and 100 GD.
Following on from editing Gerrard's excellent formations I have done the reverse and rather than moving the SS to a striker I have dropped them back into centre midfield as an AM but leaving them as an AM when defending.

I tested with Liverpool and got some exceptional results. Winning the league unbeaten with 106 points and 110 GD conceding only 19 goals. They won the Champions League and the FA Cup also. Three players scored over 30 goals.

Many thanks to Gerrard for a fantastic base formation to mess around with.
Sporting had a great season winning the league, the PT cup and the Super cup, whilst also reaching the Champions League final and the League cup final. Saurez had a fantastic season bagging 40 goals
Sporting had a good season but despite only losing 1 league game they somehow finished 2nd. They did mange to win all the Portuguese cup however.
Another massive shout out to Gerrard as I again make a small change to one of their tactics.
Argus 26.3 D 3430 P110 FA CC - another great tactic in it's own right!

Like With All Due Respects I have moved the SS to the striker position as a P and moved them to become a TCF in defence.

Tested with Liverpool, an impressive season winning the Premiership with 99 points and 107 GD. Also won the Champions League, FA Cup and Community Shield. Isak top scored with 42, but Salah was the stand out with 27 goals and 39 assists.
This is a slight change to Gerrard's Argus 26.3 TMR 3430 P104 AC - a stunning tactic in it's own right!

I have moved the SS forward to a striker with the role P. They have been moved forward defensively too to a TCF. I still think that the poacher can be more potent than the shadow striker, we shall see.

If there anyone else who needs a mention shout out to them too.

Tested with Liverpool, who managed to go unbeaten in the league and get 104 points and 103 GD.
Sporting win the league at a canter
Mallorca make europe competition after finishing 5th! Muriqi scores 32
Shout outs to Zaz and Baz for their work on their tactics as inspiration.

Looking for an adaptive version of custard that should suit more squads and provide a true counter attack based side that can turn any sides fortunes around.

The attacking formation is the same as Zaz's Autumn 3.39 ST however I have made some changes to the player roles. Starting a base where all roles are default, I have made the AWB's passing more direct along with the CHM's in midfield. I have change the attacking instructions to be much more direct and bypass the press. To compliment this when in defence the AM is an outlet along with the wide midfielders. The IF's and the P are all set to dribble more with hopes that they get the ball early in attacks and charge straight towards the goal. Expect low possession but high chance volumes.

I have tried this with Liverpool, Man City and Totthenham;
Liverpool won the Premiership with 103 points, the Champions League, the Carabao Cup, and the Community Shield. Salah got 35 goals and 26 assists.
Man City had a surprisingly bad season finishing 3rd and scoring over 100 goals but only managing 72 points. They did win the Carabao cup however. Haaland was on fire with 58 goals.
Tottenham finished 2nd and won the FA Cup. Muani got 34 goals.
