This is my first submission.
I've been a LONG time player, since the (Premier League Manager) series but haven't played since FM16.
Took me a while to get the hang of the new system.
Before I state anything, I send my thanks to all the members here at FM Scout.
And an extra thanks to Knap (used his set piece setup) and learned a lot from his tactics.
Mainly my tactic is a mishmash of different tactics, using what I liked from each tactic.
Tested on Liverpool with great success, will test soon with other teams and post results hopefully.
3 transfers were made:
1- Alessio Romagnoli (Needed someone to pair with Virgil!)
2- Lorenzo Pellegrini (that minimum release was too tempting to let slip! and came in handy as I lost Firmino for a 11 months injury in preseaon)
3- Timo Werner (club needed someone upfront)
Here we go:
As you see, a classic 4-2-3-1 with a Trequartista and wingers.
I stayed away from (Get Stuck in) as it really annoyed me getting crazy amount of yellow cards and giving out fouls. I succeeded by getting only 36 Yellows and ZERO Reds!!
The aim of my tactic was to create chances from almost everywhere to be flexible enough to face any type of defenses.

Goals
You'll need fast wingers, a creative Trequartista, and depth is key...players tend to get tired after a run and you'll have to rotate.
Now I'll keep you with different stats:

Feel free to comment on ideas and suggestions, although I'm a veteran player but I'm new to FM20...willing to learn!!

Hopefully by FM21 I'll have a better grasp of the game and create my own style and tactic
@Lisa , I'm a huge fan of your Diablo tactic!
Plug and play is exactly as suggested, the tactical AI is amazingly deep if you steer away from the known engine breakers.
I guess that is what happens when the match vs ME works best with these settings.
I hope for FM 21 there will be changes in lines, press urgency etc so that not all tactics end up this way. Even the roles seem to be set.
Trequartista is cool though, not seen many of those.
It's either AM or SS.
Regarding the Knapp comment, it has all the basic hallmarks of a Knapp tactic, hence that comment. These tactics are mostly very good but don't produce a realistic football experience. You can win on this game without the ultimate press tactic.
Its a mishmash of tactics, some from Knap and some from other authors.
I tested the tactic (not on holiday, actually playing every single game) with 2 teams with a degree of success:
1- Juve Stabia from Serie B: Won Serie B easily and reached Italian Cup quarterfinals (draw was kind to me)
2- Everton: 2nd in EPL (to Liverpool...) but 10 points ahead from 3rd, and lost Carabao and FA Finals to Liverpool again...
but 2nd and 2 finals...excellent
I like to see the Treq in there, that's quite novel. Fair play for that.
