A little like this season in real life then.

 

I'd suggest playing with a ‘balanced’ mentality more often than not, even in games you're expected to win. If away against a tough side then ‘very defensive’ is fine.

 

For manager shouts always ‘point finger’ and demand more during matches even when winning. And again use ‘point finger’ during team talks.

 

Here's an update at the end of season 1:

 

At the end of November after nine games, we were 19th and on six points (with a six-game losing streak in amongst this). We beat Leicester 4-1 after using this tactic for the first time. Some patchy form followed in December, followed by a good January and a mixed February in which we lost 4-2 at home to Southampton (injuries played a part as we were down to the bare bones).

 

From the beginning of March until the end of the season we went twelve games unbeaten (seven wins and five draws, four wins in a row in May), confirming a seventh-placed finish with a game to spare, and would have qualified for Europe if Wycombe Wanderers didn't win the FA Cup!

 

Jordan Ayew was my top scorer with 23 in all competitions and 18 in the league, which was surprising. Andros Townsend scored 12 from the right wing which was even more of a shock!

Thank you again for the tactic, it's really good!

Good to hear, it generally performs well no matter what team you play as providing you have the players for the positions. Never know may even get Benteke scoring again.

I sold Benteke 😂 my save is weird, after 17 games I’m a bad result or two away from a relegation scrap, and a good result of two away from fighting for Europe.

I've just downloaded this as I'm in a spot of bother with Crystal Palace in season one using a similar formation.

 

Just beat Leicester 4-1 in the first game using it so it's working so far!
