OK my tactics are going to be fairly basic for the moment just a simple balanced 4-4-2.
Now I've given the players seperate position instructions as well:
STL=Advanced forward; STR=Deep lying forward. Both set to attack.
We can change one of these to target man if we get a forward good in the air or holding up the ball, or complete if we get a good allrounder.
ML & MR=Wingers, Attack.
MCL Box to Box (or Central Mid if preferred). Suppot
MCR Ball Winning. Defend
I like wingers to give me width and extra options around the box (wingers with decent heading get a lot of goals from the back post I find).
I like having one of my midfielders getting around the pitch and supporting the dangerous areas hence the MCL. And then I usually use a tiger alongside him whose main job is to snuff attacks before they happen.
DL & DR= Full backs, defend.
DCL & DCR= Centre halves, defend.
Usually I keep the back relatively simple, though I prefer attacking FBs if I can afford it (the overlap is priceless in this game). However at LLM you need your back four staying back as a unit, so I am sacrificing attacking chances in favour of solidity. Expect this to change if we get to the PL. The CBs I keep simple as possible, though if we have a player like J Todd in one of the positions we'll have to push them to limited defender (stats are bad outside pure defence).
I have gone for the defaults in most of the team instructions (as we don't want anything too complicated). I have though toned up pressing as I really like seeing all my team defending from the oppositions box, and can reap great rewards. (It was a speciality of Kadlec in one of my saves in FM10 to steal the ball off a defender and score). We could tone down the creative freedom and roaming more though. I will see how the friendlies go.
Now I have a secondary tactic which I used to great effect in FM 10 with smaller clubs (took Parma to the San Siro and beat AC, and got a ways in the cup with Wycombe). I'd suggest using something like it (in mentality anyway) against bigger clubs. It's more defensive but harder to break down:
