Hi
I got my League 1 to prem and won everything on the way
Basically its down to your players you have and not the tactic You have to devise your own way with the players you have
Example you cant play as Barcelona with a team of useless passers and no pace
Try to decide first what your teams major factors are going to be Example do you build on pace or strength Example Bolton and Man City are tall and physical Or small and pacey
Check the Under 21s for Countries and expiring contracts Pick up a young player from Barcelona again as an example If you can then at least he is not to there standard but for the lower leagues here then yes
Try to create 2 teams
your first team of 12 ( 11 and reserve goalie )
then Build a reserve team and try not to buy players that your scouts recommend as then you buy lots of players and your budgets gone I have about 40 players and the reserves are stalling as they are not playing in the first team
As Alan Hansen says build from the back
Check out the loans players again Why pay your transfer on a player when you can maybe get a loanee from the prem or championship as they are beter than who you can attract
Also its a game so its throwing random elements in there
You can play a game then you lose Load the game again and you may win Load the game again you draw
thats why its addictive
good luck and yes try the tactics here but also try your own to suit your stlye and your players
