I have tried loads of tactics and this is the best i have found so far.I am Shrewsbury and having been in the top 2 for the most of the season i finally finished 5th and lost to eventual winners Wycombe 4-3 in the play offs.
I am almost up to Christmas in the 2nd year and check out these stats

I follow scout reports but always close down wingers and close down and mark forwards tightly.
The only other tweak i use is that when you download the tactic,its set on counter attack and the attacking and creativity bars are in the middle so this season when i bought some better players i always start with the attacking bar half way between middle and all out attack and the creativity bar just to the right of middle by a couple of notches.
