The difficulty does seem to have been increased in FM16, but it's a good thing really. It does get boring expecting to win everything every year.

With Arsenal, I came 2nd in my first season (Spurs 1st 9 points clear) and I've just finished 6th in my second season (Spurs again ran away with it!).

No team is an expected victory which can only be a good thing, it means you actually have to PLAY the game rather than leaving it to run almost in the background as it used to be.

The difficulty makes it even more addictive.

I'm going to try this one out with Arsenal. A lot of central midfielders

I'm thinking of using this lineup...

Completed a full season with just this tactic at Chelsea.

1st in Premier Division with highest average possession and goals scored. Also least conceded goals.

I also won the Capital One Cup with 61.83% possession (2nd highest) and 15 goals scored (1st).

...and the FA Cup with 59.29% possession (2nd) and 15 goals scored (3rd).

Knocked out in the quarter final of the Champions League by Arsenal.

Obviously Chelsea have an immense line-up so the success isn't necessarily that impressive.

My only 2 signings were Sergio Busquets in the summer and Éder Álvarez Balanta in January.

Be interested to see this tactic at a lower league club as it worked extremely well for me.

Going to try this out with Chelsea I'll provide results after first season
