Lapidus said: @opq, since the duty of CMs is "Automatic" then when you change the mentality it might also change so on "Caution" it could to "Defend" from "Support", which might have a great impact on the tactic.
Just be careful with that... I don't think it's a good idea having the duties on "Automatic" because it prevents changing the mentality freely. Expand
on auto they don't drop to CM(de) unless you go defensive on overall team mentality and I just prefer cautious in any defensive case, at least if I didn't got red and switching to attacking just inverts them to CM(a)
actually, using WB on auto might be good too, if you switch between mentalities in match constantly
previously I tried to divide offensive and defensive blocks with no players on support duty continuing with fluid approach with only 1 AF on attack others have forward runs still, even DM, but initial mentality is lower than on attack
version of xmas tree, hugely inspired by @Blau surprisingly that's what gives me the most pleasant football in this patch across all formations (even more than beloved 433 DM Wide )
DW, SS and AM on crosses focusing STC (corners focusing him in live game too, just for the test let it be CB) RPM dribble MOAR roam on SS/AM
what about defensive corners? I've used similar setup, but + with one DM player on covering central zone and it seems after the patch I started to concede way more right from this central zone but my other players were mostly on player mark, not "go back", mb that helps a bit for them to fulfill this zone too
New ME ?

So'ton run
SVs on channels, tight mark and dribbling
DM on hold + dribble
half-flank overload with IW and SVs
upd. ok, it's really FB, just a wrong SS in OP
+ Play out of D, which needs to get one more try after the patch
IWB (su) -> CWB (a)
underlaps -> overlaps
"cross center" across all positions available for this PI

IFs on attack duty for STC's bad day
CMs on attack and stay wide

I don't believe positive can hit that much
