Tactics 4-1-2-2-1 Sunderland almost perfect Season

[cowley89]

so started a season with Sunderland. Only game lost including cup competitions was Liverpool in extra time of the FA Cup semis! Now quick caveat I did abuse the free transfer bug...but even with that I still think the results are pretty impressive! 

This is a high possession vertical tikataka type tactic. With that I'll go to the set-up.

GK - general decent goalkeeping

IWB -  this is much better I find this year. They cut inside but can also overlap your inside forwards when attacking. Positioning, tackling, crossing, movement

CD - your tough guy, aerial, tackling, positioning, strength, pace

BPD - needs decent defensive stats as above coupled with passing 

DLP - sits back and keeps the ball moving positioning, movement, tackling, passing 

CM - possibly the most important player in the team will make most passes positioning, passing, movement, 

AP - passing, creativity, shooting a bonus

IF - shooting, dribbling, movement, creativity, pace 

DLF  - creativity, shooting, passing, think firminio

Looking at the setup, I think it would be effective in the top league's as well.

Have you ever tried cautious tackling?

Hi - great tactic! Do you reckon this tactic would work with West Brom, using the original players?
