Either way it's seriously impressive, been finding that set-pieces have been nerfed a lot for this year. Been looking at a few of your tactics on Google Docs and I have a couple of questions.

Why FB instead of WB? Why BGK instead of GK? Expand
I played this with Grimsby. Won League 2, League 1, Championship back to back. Now in 7th place of PL in 4th season. So it's obviously an excellent tactic. However two critiques: you will concede a LOT and your players will constantly get carded. TBH in PL my GD is at 0 despite being one of the best attacking teams in the league. I have tried to shore up my defence but no luck so far from conceding goals. Removing "get stuck in" doesn't help much either. So overall, this is a B+ tactic for me.

I think you are being a bit unfair. You climbed to Premier League all at once, then reached 7th in your first season, and you think the tactic is just B+? Did you expect to win all matches by 8-0 with a bunch of mediocre players? Just take it easy and improve your squad, and that will eventually fix your defensive problems, especially if your new players are fast.
I read earlier in the comments that this tactic was optimized for an earlier version of FM24. Are there any changes that should be made for the latest patch?

Good for last version of FM24 and even the FMMATCH LABS tweaked ME
I'm getting tons of injuries using this tactic. Not sure if this is just normal with FM24, or because I'm playing as a lower league club. Anything I should be doing differently to avoid this?

FM tends to clump so may just be temporary. Can reduce training if possible

Ok. What training schedules do you like to use? Also, I seem to be getting pretty inconsistent results. I'll rattle off big wins scoring lots of goals, and then get absolutely smoked a couple times in a row. Could just be that my defenders are bad. I'm leading my league in goals but am conceding a lot too. Any recommendations, or should I just get better players? Tough because I have no budget.

Lower League can be inconsistent unless you have a dominating team. Need pace at the back. Frees or loans but generally better players with pace and acceleration
Unfortunately you need a striker like Haaland with jumping reach as well as pace and acceleration
Loved this tactic. Got my striker to 102 goals in a season, can’t wait for your FM26 version.
FM 26 VERSION
Amazing even on FM26

The tactic was imported and only tactic so far that has managed that feat.

I'm sorry 21 corner goals??? What set-pieces are you using? Blue routines?

Just experimenting with the new system
@Gerrard Can you post your highway star p 108 here, I won back to back EPL, CL, FA cup with Arsenal first two seasons in Fm 26

Is that 424 FM 24 or HIGHWAY STAR FM 26?

Sorry should have qualified that. It was FM24.

Update: won the league (League 3 Portugal) in my first season, currently top of the table in League 2 in my second season. Confirmed awesome tactic.
