I am playing with Liverpool and I have it set so that there is no transfer budget at the beginning (I did sign Dani Guiza as a free agent though). This means everyone has the players they are meant to have at the beginning (for realism purposes).
I decided to make my own tactic and I am using the following:
4-3-3
GK - Defend
RB as WB - Attack
CB - Defend
CB - Defend
LB as WB - Attack
DM - Defend
DLP - Support
BBM - Support
AMR as Inside Forward - Attack
AML as Inside Forward - Attack
ST as Advanced Forward - Attack
Style: Fluid
Strategy: Standard (I change to Attack when weak opponent or average opponent at home and Counter or Defend when tough opponent)
Passing Style: Direct
Creative Freedom: More Expressive
Closing Down: Press More
Tackling: More Aggressive
Marking: Zonal Marking
Crossing: Default
Roaming: More Roaming
The only individual player sliders I've changed are that the wingbacks cross aim at the far post (hope fully more chance of my players heading it while the ball is getting there) and that my wingers and striker don't do long shots (to not waste possession).

-----------------Reina--------------------
Johnson-----Skrtel----Agger---Jose Enrique
---------------Lucas Leiva----------------
--------Gerrard-----------Shelvey---------
Sterling-----------------------------Suarez
-----------------Borini---------------------
I rotate Borini with Guiza and I sometimes put Suarez up front as well and Assaidi or Borini as the LW - Inside Forward. Sterling I sometimes replace with Downing. I rotate Gerrard with Shelvey or Henderson or Joe Allen sometimes as the deep lying playmaker. For the Box to Box midfielder I always use either Shelvey or Allen. As the Defensive Midfielder I used to use Allen because Lucas Leiva was injured but now I am using Leiva as the main one and Allen as backup if I don't use him in the starting 11. I use Robinson to replace Jose Enrique sometimes, Coates to replace either Agger or Skrtel. Kelly I use for when Glen Johnson isn't fit or playing badly.
What do people think? Does anyone see any flaws with this tactic? Should I tick my DLP as playmaker and my ST as the target man?
Sometimes I am having a hard time finishing the ball with weaker defensive opponents.
