Hello there!

Creation:

This is the first tactic that I publish and, actually the first time that I've used it was on FM 2017. I created this tactic to suit the squad that I originally had, with Aylesbury United, when starting my lower league save. Since I had no budget so make a lot of changes this is what I came up with, and honestly did not think it would work so well. I won the league on the first season with Aylesbury Utd (even if it was on the last match of the season) a team predicted no finish around 5th place. And so far we have 4 wins in 4 matches on the new division.

About the tactic:

If you ever managed a non-league team you'd know that it is better to keep it simple when it comes to formation, instructions and player roles. While I went bonkers formation-wise, I tried to make compensate on the other areas. The team knows what to do (clockwise) playing direct and trying to feed the more advanced players while mantaining a deep line of a defensive back three.

Suggestions/ Tips:

At this level you spend a lot of time searching for players and although we don't have a lot of talent is important to keep an eye on the more relevant atributes for each postion.
With this tactic is important to have at least 1 defender with good Pace (10-13) because there are only 3 defenders at the back.
The Defensive Midfielder/ Ball Winning Midfielder (choose the role that your player is best suited to play as) shoud have good key attributes of Tackling and Marking but also Passing.
Passing is an ever more importabt attrubute for the Deep Lying Playmaker (try to get a player that is well familiar with this role) and for the Advanced Playmaker.
The Wingers should play on support so they get back when the team is not on possession. Focus on players with good Pace/Accelaration and Crossing
On the front end you can tinker with the player roles. At the moment I'm playing with a Poacher and a Defensive Foward because it suits better the players I have but normally I'd play with Poacher and a Target Man.

I hope you have fun trying this different looking tactc and that it brings you success. Note that I have just created it and been using it for not much more than a season, so if you have any suggestions or found new ways if tinkering it feel free to share it on the comments

Good saves everyone!
