As you see in this thread u pointed out that it is a situational defense.

I assume you mean you pointed that out. I certainly didn't. I've been using it for two seasons and change rarely.

If I'd listen to the once that say things are impossible or doesn't work I wouldn't be training bigs with lots of OD HA and PA and a lot of SB.

I remember that well. I didn't contribute to that discussion because personally I was quite happy to see people ignore SB.

This defense might be a bit quirky, when it comes to training young players though.

Stamina often is an issue and rouge substitutions can mess with your rotation.

One of my favorite matches ever, FCP vs FCP.
However, my opponent ran LI as opposed to my RnG.
As you can see, the fast paced nature of both offenses still allowed a huge scoring barrage.
I thought playing RnG would allow me to run up my score more, but as you can see, he took much better care of the ball.
Our teams were pretty evenly matched, although mine was slightly more advanced at the time.
He still won.

People using FCP often use the worst offensive tactic to go with it and it looks like it sucks and could never work.

I'd say Gullyfoyle is having reasonable success in D1 and was runner-up in the cup by employing that tactic almost every game and having a middle-of-the-pack payroll.

I suggest you ask directly to managers who have used this tactic extensively and ignore all the others who are just talking based on assumptions having never tried to use this tactic in a competitive environment (ie. not to abuse lesser teams in order to boost their PD).

Besides when talking about FCP, most people are really talking about R&G+FCP...
