Hungry Like The Wolf

This tactic (and especially its style) is probably nothing too shocking for those who have been following the meta - I've been inspired from little bits here and there from a number of tactics. However, as someone playing a building a nation save I wanted to stamp a bit more of an interesting identity on things, and utilise some roles I don't see used too often in big hitting tactics: Regista, Raumdeuter and Target Forward. I've had a lot of success with it, and while I don't expect it to topple the leaderboard it may offer something for those of you looking for a bit of a different flavour in-match, and seeing different types of goals scored.

Once I was satisfied with the tactic for my own ends, I have tested it on Brighton; however, I feel it would see more success in actual gameplay, especially if you go out and recruit optimal players for the positions. I realised that not many clubs in the Premier League have Target Forward player archetypes, but I love using them myself!

In the images of my own tests, I've included the Data Hub screen so that you can also see the XG-related data, which is a bit more consistent across the two tests I ran compared to the actual table.
