@Blau  I think you are spot on with that comment. I know we haven’t seen the test run file but if I was to assume it’s something similar to last year, I believe all the players had around 12 to 14 value on key attributes. So I would go one step ahead and say if your teams doesn’t have that kind of players then balanced works much better in game
with attacking mentality insane results

Steelwood said: Yes but even them I'm sure it's the width doing it. @Blau uploaded a version of this a few days ago that did incredibly well with DWs. I've been testing the same shape since with IWs and it has been nowhere near as good

Interesting observation, let me do some testing from my end.
one of the good things about high scoring tactic, especially in FM 24, except for your defenders, everyone will have high avg. rating and these saudi clubs will pay shit load of money to buy mediocre players

says the TargetPerson! :D
since I started playing last year, I have never played with a narrow formation as they mostly sucked in FM 23. Glad could try some narrow formation this year. @Delicious : if you got some time, please try some narrow diamond. Must be interesting.
Trying IF (A), its an adaptation of one of the Knap tactics.
Delicious said: I will mate, i am not doing things for my self, i didn't even shared that routine to my patreons, isn't something i wanna keep for my self, but since SI, still doing things like that, this time we will see if they can fix it or not i guess.

Completely understood. Do what’s best for you, you are already doing a lot for the community.
Delicious said: I will do a video about that like today,i don't know yet if i will release the specific one i am using before beta, because there is a tendency to focus on my set pieces and SI don't even ask me to join their super alpha, and it took me 5-6 hours to make it already to make it crazy pimp juice. At this point i don't even know why they changed all the grapich of it, just to get same results.

Understood! whenever you think is the right time, so that your findings don't get patched by SI, please do share.
Delicious said: if you have get stuck-in you don't need tackle harder

But @Delicious , that's how it was in FM 23 also right, but we always had tackle harder in addition to get stuck in. Another one of those FM mysteries :D
lol this is so funny, all caps chat, its like ppl shouting at each other, i am telling you again, we need a laugh emoji in fm arena :P
Steelwood said: Truly the GOAT tactic. If only wide midfielders were easier to find/train

@Blau congrats on an awesome tactic but my heart sank when I saw the 2 out of 3 top tactics are using WM. I understand you can train em but then comes the Saudi clubs and they poach your players and you need to repeat the process.
Please share your set piece routine file
Steelwood said: In theory the IW is a more creative role than the IF, therefore shouldn't score as many. In previous years that was true, last year I found that the IF wasn't as good as the IW in just about every aspect. I think it depends more the type of player than the role itself. For instance, Bernardo Silva at IW will score a few but mostly get a bag of assists, Mbappe as IW will get lots of goals but only a few assists

Ya last year IF was so bad, this year so far looks good. Let's see the results between the two tactics would tell which looks better this year. Cheers!
Steelwood said: It has just been uploaded. It uses IWs instead of IFs. Also uses overlap instead of underlap

Awesome! Just left my comments / opinions there.
I am curious to see the results on this one. In my observation, IW (A) doesn't score a lot of goals as IF (A), that's why the GS is only around 100 ish with Man. City. New variations of the tactics are always fun.
Steelwood said: Haha you've just about beaten me to pretty much the same tactic. I'm still testing mine but it'll be up in a few minutes. That back 3 and higher line seems to be working wonders rn

Its just a copy of @Delicious FM 23 tactic but since the testing won't be done with the same corner routine, I don't expect a lot out of this but for me this is the best tactic in FM24. It checks a lot of boxes which I consider to be meta, 3 ATB, Vol (At), More AF (A) / IF (A) the merrier and high D-Line. I would still be interested in your version of this tactic @Steelwood
stefanopt said: Will be interesting to see if the corner routine makes that big of a difference

It does I believe, 23 out of 99 goals scored from corner.
Tactic by @Delicious . I have used the corner routine from Knap and I have attached it below
