nice one mate we back in biz, @Possebrew is it based of the genie scout file george floyd made or the same fm 24 stuff?

I feel like fmarena should go back to testing the top 3 tactics with more matches to see which is truly the best

Sleipnirfossa said: Absolutely. I tried 3-4-1-2 & 3-5-2 with elite and poor teams and they never disappointed me. Weirdly, I struggled every time when I play with 4-2-4. Can I really trust you FM Arena? I also do believe results are very different when you play the game and simulate via instant result or holiday. Expand

I agree, some of the top tactics have been so bad for me, I thought it was only me fr

great result, what tactic did you use?

great update, to the tool, looks even better now!

Please let me know what yall think, and if theres any improvements that can be made as well / also if you come across any issues using the tool.

won everything aside from ucl, only reason i lost so early was due to red card at 10 min 2nd leg

amazing tool @Possebrew

It works wonderfully, in every sense of the word.

I'm playing in 2026, and I built my team from scratch based on the scores on the site.
And just now, something like this happened in the Champions League semi-final.


Terem Moffi scored 7 goals in a Champions League semi-final match.
Let's take a look at his profile


Yes, I know he looks like an regular player.
But he scored 17 goals in 11 Champions League matches and 39 goals in 26 Premier League matches.
and his CP is only 143.


That is 16 points lower than Gyökeres, and Gyökeres' finishing is 18, while Moffin's is 15.


but both have the same score and yield. (better score than Lukaku)


The bottom line is that it is possible to acquire more efficient players at a lower cost and achieve success. It is evident that CP is merely a display, and the true value lies in the characteristics demonstrated in these tests. Expand

Good stuff bro, what tactic are you running?

Persnonally how much of a points gap do you need between a player to replace them with a new one from the tool?

5+, 10+?

Possebrew said: All outfield positions use the same formula. GKs have a separate formula.

Anecdotally... my Strikers with Jumping Reach below 13 perform far worse than slower strikers with more jumping reach.
My goalkeeper with 18 Reflexes & Agility, but 10 Aerial reach performed worse than my 15 Jumping reach, 14 Agility, 15 Reflex keeper.

Below average impact attributes seem to have critical impact. But this may be subjective.
I do recall the tests mentioning that work-rate up to 12 has a big impact, but almost none afterwards. This might apply to other attributes as well. Expand

Yeah I do this aswell, personally I set cbs to jr 14+, dm/cm jr 13+ and stc 13+ jr

plus i go position by position filtering on competent in whatever position, worked pretty good tbf

thx for this wanted to ask, if a player can play multiple positions, can we get a score for each position they could play?

ZaZ said: Any chance to run those tests some day for individual positions, focusing on the most relevant attributes? Expand

This would be perfect

Possebrew said: I built a calculator based on these results. So far it's only on my local machine, and I'm unsure whether to upload it somewhere.

You use a specific Squad & Scouting view, then use Print Screen -> Web Page
It then calculates an aggregate score for each player based on this formula and the values in the screenshot below:

  const normalizedValue = Math.max(8, Math.min(20, value));
  const impactRatio = (normalizedValue - 8) / 12; // 0 to 1 ratio
  totalScore += impacts[calculatorKey] * impactRatio;

same here would be interested in trying it out

season 2 with Getafe, insane tactic Knap

quick question what tactic do u use to hold leads / run out games?

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

https://www.cdkeys.com/football-manager-2024-pc-steam-epic-choice-eu

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?
