Underdog Upwards / Relegation Battlers at the Top

Started a new game with both Sunderland and Scarborough. Both are currently top of their Leagues.

I don't use any special set pieces etc. If you can add them then feel free.
I delegate everything to my staff like Training, Set Pieces, Take Control of Friendlies, even transfers in/Out (although i choose to finalise any transfer)
Team Talks, Conferences ETC EXCEPT, Picking the team. I choose Quick Pick then adjust 2/3 players as i feel they don't pick the best 11.

IN GAME:
During the game the ONLY thing i alter is the MENTALITY. Positive is the standard Mentality. Depending on how the game is going changing to Attacking may be required. Not all opponents are the same so sometimes dropping to Balanced can have a better effect. Cautious should be used when playing one of the big teams or you want to see the game out. I only have used those 3 mentalities and it is just a matter of which one works best against each opponent.


Never tried it with a big team but i would imagine it would work just as well.

The tactic:


Sunderland:


Scarborough:
