I started new saves using 14.3 with Barca and Viitorul Constanta and tested for 6 months each, the tactic still works great. Now I'm currently using it with Viitorul and have won all the games in the 1st half of the season (check screenshots below).
It's important to understand that you might need at least 6 months for the players to really get into the tactic; even for Barca this tactic is a bit extreme.
Some Tips
For the inside forwards you need players with opposite preferred foot to their position.You must have players with good anticipation, composure, concentration, decisions, off the ball, teamwork and work rate. "Good" is relative to how good the opposition teams are, but usually 14+ is excellent. Passing is important just for players who will make through passes, basically the MCR (your playmaker).
It's recommended to have players with 2 specific PPM: "plays one two" and "comes deep to the ball". If your players don't have these, you should train them for that. The central defenders don't need these though.
Also the MCR (playmaker) will benefit from having the "dictates tempo" PPM.
For team-talks I usually go with a passionate approach, but if you have a good assistant manager let him handle it.
No need for opposition instruction.
Training: fitness-hard in the preseason, and balanced-average in season.
Match training: tactic at 20% in season, max in preseason.

This tactic is ridiculously effective. If you have four or five technical players that are good on the ball, the other team literally do not get the ball.
salauwale:
This tactic is soooo good, it makes you feel like you're cheating. Best tactic I have ever tried and I have tested a lot.
kompot:
Works wonders for me since applying in my Nottm Forrest.
ConcertoVerde:
I dub this the best possession tactic released thus far.

Thank you in advance!
Lots of one time posters who say how "ridiculously effective" this tactic is.
154 passes and 0 key passes from a DLP(s)?, most likely due to playing too many "one two's IMHO, two key passes from the team in the whole game from over 800? meh!
Tell me if all but one of your front 5 have the support role, how does playing "one-twos" help you go forwards? IE: both CM playmakers are looking to stay in the hole, that's what their role demands but playing one twos demands after laying the ball of the player looks to get forward....it don't make sense to the CM's train for that PPM.
Not bragging but I also play 4-6-0 (possession based) tactic, I might only manage 300 passes in a game maximum but my DLP(s) gets at least 5 key passes and as a team my last game (still fresh in my mind) got 23 (7 from DLP(s) alone)
Literally signed up today just to say thanks!
This tactic is deadly but I would like to know why messi isn't as effective in the AMC role. He doesn't score as much goals as I would like him to. Any help appreciated. Could email me at [email protected]
Huge FM fan here. Would love to here ur replies.
Although using it fells like cheating.
Can someone tell me how I download it on Windows 8?
Just says I can't open it when I click the download button.
Cheers
the best FM tactic I've ever seen. Even with ten men on the pitch my team managed to get 70% of possession.
Thank you SIR.
