I was looking around at current top tactics for inspirations. Since I could not decide on whether to use WB(a) + IF(s) or FB(a) + IF(a), I went for both. Turned out pretty nice, 104 points a season with City. The only thing that was surprising is Haaland's low goal volume. But, it seems like he missed a lot of games due to injuries, it makes perfect sense ig.
It's AN EGG ON A PLATE. After messing around with 3 AMs and 3 DMs, this is an attempt to reintroduce CM into the tactics after the low performance in FM23.
Last time I was messing around with 3AMs + no winger. Thus, it's only natural that 3DMs + no winger combo has to be addressed. The results look really promising. Although less goals were observed, defensive stability is greatly improved (which is reflected through the points tallied). However, Idk if results could be replicated @lower rating clubs. As always, Corner Routine can be found in one of the subsequent comments.
Also, since I know some members would be interested. Here's the Routine I used. LOTS OF GOALS FROM CORNERS. Just need to download and paste it to your set pieces folder.
Somehow this has been the most successful tactic I have tested thus far, coming out winning the league with 0 loss. But, it's City, so who knows.
A lot of injuries this season but turned out better than expected.
+ 2DMs instead of 2Vols
+ Am(c) instead of SS
+ shorter passing for AMs + AF
+ Play-out-of-defence
- Pass-into-space
Probably, it just does nothing and it got a lower score due to 1-2 points RNG that happens even when you test tactics for 2400 matches.
oh yeh, I forgot the margin of errors for 2.4k is still within 1-2
but with the DM tweak (BWMD+VOLA→DLP+DM) inspired by https://fm-arena.com/thread/6879-424-deformation-ii/
