A High Intensity System Inspired by Schmidt's Leverkusen
Introduction
Throughout my Pentagon Challenge save I have always wanted to play an Attacking style of play. In real life that is what I love to watch, football that gets fans off their seats and gets pundits talking. I'd tried to create attacking systems using various attacking threads (Cleon, Rashidi, RTH), and they were decent, but i wasn't quite getting the consistency I wanted.
