Just want to say Ö-zil-to-the-Arsenal! that I have absolutely loved the football that has been produced using this tactic, and I've not even optimized the players for it yet. A few things I've noticed and am trying to change though are the defensive solidarity and the types of shots that are being made.
I've had to add works ball into box to stop my players constantly shooting from distance and losing the attacking advantage and of course giving possession back unnecessarily.
Against good sides, in Europe and also Stoke for some reason, my defense just collapses. I'm Manchester United and Giroud twice and Diouf once just absolutely blitzed my defense. Also in Europe I'm often leading and then suddenly, I get hit by two or three goals very quickly. My defenders are not perfect for the system, but sometimes the back three and the five midfielders defend, press and work together perfectly. Then suddenly it all goes wrong very quickly.
Either way, I'm pressing on with this system because I love the football it's producing. Can see me having a big overhaul of the squad though in the years to come in game.
