Lack of diversity in retested tactics

by MeanOnSunday, Feb 22, 2026

I’ve noticed that almost all the retested tactics are strikerless, 3 atb formations.  I understand that priority is given to the highest rated tactics but when the ME is so messed up as it was this year that means that we don’t get enough variety in formations rated in the current ME.  I also don’t think I should be submitting tactics that are 99% the work of others just to get them retested.  So is it possible to go back and retest more formations from v2 ME?  I don’t think I’m alone in not wanting to use completely unrealistic tactics.

based request seeing the whole first page is entirely of the same formation made my eyes burn

I agree making one single pointless tweak and re testing the same tactic over and over isn't helping anyone it's just chasing a score. Definitely need some variety especially since there is IP and OOP tactics now.

Not much point in changing anything now, since it would not be a surprise if tests halted when they announce FM27. It should be released in a couple of months from now, if they follow the pattern of previous years (except cancelled FM25).

The point is to find something new and interesting which also works
There's no point to post same tatcis with 1-2 diff instruction which actually makes zero diff huh

People are free to test what they want. You can filter tactics by four defenders if you do not like three at the back, and there is even a table for plug and play tactics. People test tactics with different shapes every day. What you will not see are tactics with all shapes in the top of the table, but you can find plenty with lower scores, and even a few with very good scores.

Just open up tactics and theres 90% of em is absolutely same shapes and main team instructions
Only diff is PI but the result is almost same everywhere with 84.5 avg pts lmao
