I had 3 back to back finals with inter, won the first one and then proceeded to lose the last two, it's so funny, you dominate in everything and then once you get to the final it's like your team implodes on itself lmao

This is the cheapest i've found

So in my southampton save, the 3rd season to be precise I had my backup striker Sekou Mara always there for the second halves, injuries or if the main strikers needed a rest.

But one match one of my main strikers got injured, so I put Mara on in replacement of him and he just couldn't stop scoring he passed both Sesko & Beto my main strikers only starting in just a little over half the amount of PL matches.

He was even 5 goals ahead of Haaland at one point narrowly missing the golden boot in the last 3 games (FYI he was injured).

But Sesko & Beto on paper are better players but I believe Sekou Mara should be my main now.

Any thoughts on this?

@Delicious You genius, I won the CL with southampton first year in the CL lmao

Bogeyman said: I can tell you how I pick players

First, I narrow it and leave only players with the highest CA then I look at 4 attributes: Acceleration, Pace, Anticipation and Dribbling.

It's really easy. Expand

How do you narrow it to find players with the highest CA?

@Delicious Thanks for the tactics, real quick, out of all of them which would you say is the best tactic possible out of them?

@MakeSuRE it looks really good!

You’ve said this already, what’s the point, you’re clearly trying to make something out of this, we’re here to get the best tactics statically possible, and the creator of this version clearly mentions that he got most of his inspiration from that tactic.

So if you don’t have anything better to do, simply enjoy the game and appreciate the good tactics you have access to in this game!

So @ZaZ this happened today, started using light at 30 mins non-stop highlights.

You absolute legend!!!

@ZaZ whenever I sign youngsters, they barely improve with your training session, one of my players increased who was aged 18 at the time, +1 in a few attributes  like 4 years, what am I doing wrong?

P.s. I setup the rest and everything.

ZaZ said: What he is saying is that you probably downloaded the rating, but didn't make it active. You can have several ratings in your folder, but only one is active at a time. Expand

Oh I see, no I made sure I used the correct ratings in the team , clicked on it once downloaded

FM File

That's it @Mark

Mark said: I am sorry mate but I cant replicate the issue. I have done the manual calculations and also set 3 identical players up in my test save and get different results and orders to what you have.

All I can think of is it hasn't loaded properly or it has somehow changed.

If you could get a copy of your save linked I would happily investigate further if you want. But as it stands I really don't know what is going on. Expand

@Mark, a few years in the future, so that's a regen but it is not very close to any of the players in the rating range.

sure I'll post it here

ZaZ said: I assume you are using the balanced version from Mark, since it shows target striker. I agree with you that first player should be scored lower than second, but he probably has a higher concentration of attributes in the most important values. Expand

I guess even on the regular version of the ratings he is 69.58, according to this he would be the 3rd best st in the game.

@ZaZ guessing you shouldn't blindly follow it?

Hey, @Mark and @ZaZ This is weird, this player according to genie under the zaz 25 under 50 rating has the guy rated better than all of my strikers but looks the worst? what do you guys think I'm seeing this on other players.

José Huanca rating = 73.1

Dennis = 69.65

Junior Arias = 71.18

As you can see Jose is the highest by a fair bit and looks the worst out of the 3.

Mark said: Here is the updated version of the ZaZ 25 from all under 50 rating, balanced and unrated positions derived.

Hope this helps someone

ZaZ 25 under 50 Balanced Expand


Mark what's the difference with the normal Zaz 25 under 50 and this balanced version?

So which Rating file would be the best to use?

ZaZ said: Gratz! Like I said, I usually start seasons with a few bad matches, so I suppose the tactic starts working way better as you build team cohesion. Good job there and remember to rotate players to avoid fatigue (only visible at medical centre or explicitly adding a column in your view). Expand

what do I look for in the medical centre when it comes to fatigue?

@ZaZ You absolute legend your tactic is absolutely broken and we love it!!!

I've won everything possible.

What's working for you, I've been losing almost every game?
