Two separate saves, two completely different clubs (R Madrid & Cagliari) and the Wulf442P107 is working much stronger with the latest build. For me at least. I am comfortable now using it occasionally in tough away matches. 

 

I've given this a go with my Leeds side in the premier league (we are a top half side).  Does not work away at all for me. In fact I get a bit if a hiding with it,

I've also switched to the beta match engine.  Alas, the 3-5-2 has stopped working for me, *but* I think that is also because I am no longer an underdog.  Have Leeds established, won the FA cup, Euro Cup, and am now playing in the CL.  Basically make lots of chances, but nothing goes in - I really hate deflections from shots that look like defence splitting passes they way they find the opposition players for the counter...

The 4-3-3 so far for me is very variable... when I get beaten I really get thumped, especially from higher rep teams.  Does OK against teams I am expected to beat.  Alas my recruitment has been around the 3-5-2, so I am stuck with tactics that don't need wingers.

No wonder real life managers are all bald or grey haired.

My update... I switched to another tactic for 5 matches with terrible results... then switched back, BUT, also stopped delegating opposition instructions to the assistant and I very rarely give them out myself.  Results have gotten much better again.  We'll see how the rest of the season goes.

Alas, this stopped working for me and I couldn't tweak it to work again.  Essentially devolved into creates lots of chances but always less goals than the opposition who create hardly any... the old force field in front of the goal.

I've had pretty good success with this tactic.  Newly promoted Leeds, the wheels were falling off after Christmas and i switch to this and it stabilised.  In my second season up I am top 7, but had to change the default mentality to Balanced.  I was getting beaten even by lesser teams when on attacking.  Balanced seems to have stiffened it up a bit (although away form is still not great - But I have a pretty young side, and my wingbacks aren't great).
