FM26 Mentality

by Mark, Feb 18, 2026

I took a striker version of the meta tactic and removed the PIs, where possible. Then had the tactic tested using all the mentalities.

The following are the results:















Most Points was Positive, most goals was Very Attacking, least goals conceded was Defensive, most goal difference was Very Attacking.

In the words of Roy and HG, take from that what you will.

After a fair bit of time testing and thinking about my strategy I have settled on the following 3 tactics for this save:

I am looking for 3 tactics that are different but easily interchangeable and adaptable. Slot 1 is Closer v95. This will be the only non striker formation so will be in this slot to get the most training/familiarisation but wont be used very often.

The main tactic will be the most used and will be based on my MDW 343 Standard Pos tactic but using Closer v95 with no PIs. This means the only real change outside of the PIs will be AM SS to ST CHF. ST will quickly learn the AM role.

The 3rd tactic will a version of the main tactic will standardise TIs to drop the amount of fatigue. So no positional change from the main tactic.

All of these tactics will allow you easily to change from Positive to Vaery Attacking or Balance or Defensive depending on what you are after.

I am now using this structure successfully.
