The main idea is to put the opposition under ruthless pressure in order to catch them out of position and punishing them with fast counters. The striker drops into the midfield in order to create space for the raumdeuters and attacking cm to exploit.
As most of you can guess, physique and work rate are two key attributes to look for, other than the recommended ones for each role.
These are some of my greatest achievements with the tactic. It includes all-time points records in three of Europe's top five leagues (joint record in the Red's case) within three seasons of being appointed and taking Dynamo Dresden from 3 Bundesliga to a league title and regular CL-qualification. It also includes instant snaps to Olympiakos' and PSG's subscriptions on their respective league title.
Give it a go and let me know about the results.

4-1 against Chelsea
do you keep the same tactic for away games ?
still works fine is an understatement my friend this tactic is awesome.
i have been on various fm sites searching for tactics for liverpool that work, most say they do, but after a few decent results they crash and burn.
yours my friend is 100% on the button.
i'm currently 8 games in to my first season, unbeaten in all competitions
my last game beating dortmund 2-0 at home in euro cup.
thank you for the advice, any updates to this tactic please please keep them coming.
Still works fine from what I've seen.
@fmsharky
for general training I use team cohesion (high) and for match preperation teamwork. I tend never to change these settings, though I don't really have an explanation for why other than habit. As far as individual training goes I just set every player to work on the role they play in the system. Finally OIs are also very much straight forward as I just make sure to have at least one coach with strong tactical knowledge and ask him for advice.
you said on a previous post you use team cohesion on training.
is this average/high/very high ?
and once its fluid what do you switch to after that ?
going to give your tactic ago with my liverpool team.
but what training ,oi's and individual training do you use with this tactic ?
As you can see from the updated screens a parade of silverware collecting has been rolling around the word since the conception of the tactic. The one thing I've had trouble with so far is winning with truly week teams, though I barely ever took over the top team of the league, it's always been one of the main challengers (Reds, Panathinaikos, OM, etc).
how's the tactic been for you?
Any screenshot updates ?
I usually use team cohesion and teamwork all the time, unless I notice that I struggle on something specific (usually set pieces during the first leg of a cup tie). As far as OI goes I usually just ask an assistant with high tactical rating to take care of it.
Because I played Liverpool always lost ? can help ?
