Fixing the same error as Total Football, I changed the BPD to Pass it Shorter and set the SK to defend, so they don't waste possession because of their Take Risks default instruction. I holiday tested the tactics twice, with first and last media prediction teams, and got the following results.
I am not sure how much better this is, but it got my best result so far for second team (20° in media prediction). Since the change is probably not enough for it to be tested again, I would be happy if users could try it and tell me what they think.
Thank you for testing, @ta2199. I think short passing on BPD really makes a difference, but it's not that big of a difference for them to test the tactics again. If they were to test every small change in tactics, it would encourage people to use brute force instead of making smart changes and give them lots of extra work.
I was analysing this strategy to understand how it could be improved and noticed it has an error. The BPD are not set with the instruction to Pass it Shorter, so they keep wasting possession because of their Take More Risks default instruction. I made two runs to test with Pass it Shorter and the results looked a lot better. P.S.: SK was also changed to defend to retain ball possession.
I'll attach the tactic with fixed player instructions here. I understand if @Zippo don't want to run the tests again, so if anyone try it, let me know how better it is.
Basically the same as Total Football, but IWB were set to attack. Since they might leave the back open, the BPD were set to stay wider and the SK was set to defend. Holiday 1/20 tested on Premier League.
I am trying to see which formation has more potential to get tweaks, between total football, total attack or total balance. This one was also holiday tested with first and last media prediction from Premier League. I have a feeling the results were a fluke.
@Zippo, let me know if you want me to change the namee to something less generic. I've been thinking of using elemental dragons, like "Fire Dragon", Earth Dragon" and such, to keep it unique.
Please, could you give this tactic a different name. "Test - 2" doesn't look cool. Also, this tactic should be clearly distinguished from your previous tactic.
Thank you. Expand
Sure, I forgot to rename the file. Gonna change it.
Same as ZaZ - Total Football, but changed the roles from fowards and wingers to relieve from defense duty. Also changed wingbacks to allow overlap. Very high pace with short and vertical passing.
Tests were made picking the teams predicted to end first and last in the Premier League, then setting the tactics and going in vacation for the rest of the season.

Holiday tested in Premier League with first and last predicted by media.

For the tests, I picked the first and last predicted teams from Premier League, set the tactics and went in vacation for the rest of the season.
