I built a page that converts real managers' seasons into FM26 grammar — shapes, team instructions, and the attributes each role needs. Free, no login, no ads.
- In-possession and out-of-possession shapes, as two diagrams - A position map showing where the same player moves when the phase changes - All 27 team instructions (18 in possession, 9 out), with the ones that actually come from the manager's style marked - Required and preferred attributes for all 11 slots, with a weighting on which ones matter most
WHERE THE NUMBERS COME FROM
FBref / Sports Reference, per manager-club-season. Each side is compared against its own league average for that season, and the deltas set the style axes — pressing intensity, defensive line, tempo, directness, width. Where a manager shows no clear signal on an instruction, the card uses the game's neutral value instead of inventing one.
BEFORE ANYONE ASKS: THIS IS NOT TESTED FOR WIN RATE
I know what this forum is for, and I'm making no performance claim. The match engine is its own system and I can't promise a real-world style translates into results. This is a starting point with a stated reason behind every setting, not a meta tactic. For win rates, the testing tables here are the right tool.
TWO THINGS YOU'D FIND OUT ANYWAY
143 cards, but around 105 unique managers. Pep, Tuchel, Emery, Gasperini and others appear for more than one season on purpose. Pep's City 23-24 next to 24-25 is the one I'd open first — the 23-24 card flags Rodri as the slot with no replacement, and that injury is what triggered the 24-25 change.
38 of the cards are relegation-survival sides sharing a common template. They're badged as such. They weren't researched individually and they will look alike, because those tactics are alike.
INTERFACE IS KOREAN RIGHT NOW
English is coming. The diagrams, the position map and the instruction tables read fine without it — attribute names are already in English.
Selection: top-5-league winners and runners-up, relegation survivors, and UCL/UEL semi-finalists from 2015-16 on. Current season isn't in yet.
If something looks wrong, or you want a manager added, say so here and I'll fix it.

English is coming soon. The diagrams, position map and instruction tables already read fine without it — attribute names are in English. It's the manager-style descriptions that still need translating.

Fair, that's on my phrasing — the diagrams, position map, instruction tables and attribute names are in English, but the menus and labels around them are still Korean, and that's most of what your screenshot shows. I'm working on the full English UI right now, should be up soon.
