It's not a complain, but i want to find a mixed striker, what your recomendations to edit in rating to find those players? Expand
I class a complete forward as target striker really. The match engine doesnt care about a lot of attributes. You could maybe add vision a little bit. But id still make them strong, good jumping reach, anticipation, balance and work rate. And of course not slow!!
Guys I am a returning player, I already have FM24, but I can get FM26 for cheap. How good is the ME compared to FM24? I know the UI sucks but I’ve heard the Tactical Creator gives you more options due to the OOP/IP formations and that you can play more varied styles of play. Is that true?

Link to the post:
There are now 6 samples per player. That's 2,736 Premier League matches simulated on full detail + all other relevant first team competitions (i.e. Community Shield, Champions Cup, Club World Cup, etc.) simulated on full detail as well.
Edit: I've added a color-coded column to compare 4 different GS rating files. 1st is new Best fit file, 2nd is Premier League 1.0, 3rd is keithb, 4th is Falbravv's META FMA 2.0 file based on skawkclsrn's recent data. Green = 1% or less difference. Yellow = 2-4% difference. Red = 5%+ difference. Ignore Harry Kane, he needs a slight readjustment right now due to the latest samples.
There are a lot of new deductions that can be made.
One is that now we have a rough idea what GS % corresponds to in terms of concrete performance numbers, and another is that we can tell at what point random variation makes distinguishing between % numbers pointless.
We can always do with more samples, but if we just take the difference between whoever is highest and lowest between Lewandowski, Mbappe, Maeda, Kane, Vlahovic, Osimhen, and Messi (total +/- 1 position difference maximum) we get:
((4.08/80.70)x100) = 5.06% - My best fit of the data so far in GS (not to minimize %, but to correct player rank) ((14.30/91.99)x100) = 15.54% - Premier League 1.0 'weighted weights' version ((14.94/88.11)x100) = 16.96% - Premier League 1.0 ((14.14/92.25)x100) = 17.14% - 'Pure Performance' FM24 ((13.45/77.59)x100) = 17.33% - My first/original FM24 ratings file ((15.89/84.94)x100) = 18.71% - 'Blended' FM24 ((18.34/83.29)x100) = 22.02% - ykykyk05251's weights file ((22.88/88.01)x100) = 26.00% - Orion's coefficients file ((29.27/91.47)x100) = 32.00% - Genie Scout Default
That is where we are accounting for extreme cases. In other words, a 4-5% difference in GS is almost certainly an objectively better player.
But what if we make it a bit leniant, and tolerate ~10-20% being exceptions we miss. In other words, this is the more typical uncertainty range. To discover this, I exclude the bottom % player from the list:
((4.03/80.70)x100) = 4.99% - My best fit of the data so far in GS (not to minimize %, but to correct player rank) ((6.21/88.11)x100) = 7.05% - Premier League 1.0 ((6.00/83.29)x100) = 7.20% - ykykyk05251's weights file ((7.34/75.95)x100) = 9.66% - Falbravv's 'META FMA 2.0' file based on skawkclsrn's data this week ((10.39/89.51)x100) = 11.60% - Falbravv's 'META FMA' file based I think FM Arena's testing(?) ((11.67/91.47)x100) = 12.76% - Genie Scout Default ((13.45/77.59)x100) = 13.20% - My first/original FM24 ratings file ((12.61/95.25)x100) = 13.24% - 'Pure Performance' FM24 ((12.42/91.99)x100) = 13.50% - Premier League 1.0 'weighted weights' version ((13.21/94.59)x100) = 13.97% - keithb's weights 💩 ((13.64/88.01)x100) = 15.50% - Orion's coefficients file ((14.14/84.94)x100) = 16.65% - 'Blended' FM24
So we see that whatever the case, ~4-5% is going to be the range within which the player who is better becomes uncertain, but also the difference is going to be pretty meaningless objectively.
You think genie scout default ratings are better than some rating files produced by people who made files based on reliable testing? hahaha
And your file is, obviously, at the top yet Mbappe in this latest rigorous test comes out 2nd/3rd and you have him as the 20th best striker in your premier league file?? Makes sense I guess
Rather than carrying on with all this testing that apparently keeps getting better and changing your findings, why dont you practise your makeup? I hear the circus is in town soon, and they are always looking for clowns.
Ps I dont have Mbappe and Haaland rated the same. You dont even know how to use and read GS. How can you make a file for it? I love that you lie all the time, it just makes it funnier.

haahah. You lie and misrepresent what I say often. You're a clown.
No Mbappe and Haaland are not rated the same. And when you increase TS to 107, like I said in the post, the gap becomes even bigger. Its 2% and then becomes 4%. They are not rated the same. Is there actually something wrong with you?
AGAIN how can you create a file and use and not see this?? There's a worrying disconnect.

Looking at your TS ratings, you have Osimhem above Lewandowski even though both having 15 jumping reach, so more of the same 💩 either way.

Please stop making me laugh hahaha. I do have somework to do.
Well I know im very smart and you aren't and you know people call me a visionary and stuff. But what I do is I use BOTH. I know im so clever right? No one else has ever thought to do this. That means I can still include strikers with no jumping reach in fast strikers and strikers who have an overall excellent physical profile can be target strikers. And then I/we can choose which type we want. Sorry if I blew your mind with that.
Well Osimhem is probably above Lewa because his other key attributes are better? I haven't just set jumping reach on its on in the weighting for TS. Again if this is new information for you, then you're welcome.
So to clarify I've ALWAYS had Haaland as the best player in fm24. So you've repeatedly lied and said I haven't. Tbh he should be 10% clear, but I dont like the other positions having such low scores. Thats probably wrong but its just how I used GS.
Anyway always hilarious interacting with you. I fondly remember when you told me I was pissing in my own face for saying stamina is important lol and in almost everything you type out shit is literally coming out of your mouth. Im a huge fan of irony and you are the king of it. I would say dont ever change, but thats me being selfish for entertainment purposes. You should change for the benefit of other people you are constantly misleading over football manager.
Jumping reach keeps landing third on every importance list. But it's nowhere near acc and pace. So that makes me wonder — would two players with 18+ JR be enough to cover set pieces, while everyone else just sits at average (10-15)?
