This is the tactic that I've been using since FM13 and have been having the same kind of results since then.
The 4-3-3 Controlo is all about control the ball possession, creating opportunities and limit the other team's opportunities.
To do this you need to have 3 things:
The tactic is valid to every team, from lower leagues to the big leagues.
In FM15, you have to be very careful with the large amounts of injuries. So it's important to pay attention to your staff, good 4,5-5 stars physical coaches, good physical therapists and to weeks of team physical practices in the pre-season.
In terms of results, I was able to win the Portuguese League in the first season with Braga.

The Chelsea game was a little bit of luck. They had one guy with a red card in the first ten minutes.
Any doubt about the tactic don't hesitate in asking. Enjoy!
