This tactic has given me great results. It has allowed me to have 60% possession even away from home.
The main thing is that the wingers MUST be inside forwards. The tactic works if they are on support, but works better if they are on attack.
The 2 MC and 1 AMC are all on support as to not over expose you.
I won the Premier League and Champions League in my 1st season.
Undefeated in Premier League throughout the second season, but both League Cups and Champions League didn't end so well.
I hope you all like it.

Great tactic so far in my save (Belgian 5th level).
Some people dont like the 2 AP in the mid so if your players dont like that position you can change one to a DP or even a BWM. Infact the BWM can work better depending on the stamina of the player.
However this tactic does leak goals and it's very noticeable when you're playing away, for instance I played Everton away and the score finished 8-6 to myself lol.
But overall again some decent results and of course the tactic was made with Manchester United's defence in mind and not West Ham, Look forward to trying this on Man U.
Biggest scalps so far, beat Arsenal 4-0 at home and beat Liverpool 2-0 away.
Also i am using the tactic in league 2 and working great 6 wins out of 7. But if your players do not play in the set positions then things are harder as the players dont know how to do whats required or your having to change the tactic.
but dont you think that 2 AP players in the MC make the midfield quite penetrable ?
