Strikerless do work well this year, but to be fair it is fairly easy this year to create something simple and win.
I am currently 3rd season with Newcastle. Finished 4th in the first season and 2nd last year - will give the title challenge a real good go this year. All with a very basic 4-2-3-1.
I am sure strikerless works really well, but there is no need to use it.
I play level 20 mate, something simple and win isn't really an option!
