Using this tactic and mc40 set piece routine, winning 90 % matches, away is balanced mentality. Won 3 consecutive leagues and CL with Arsenal using this tactic.

Zippo said: Hi,

In general, the game is still in a beta phase and as we can see it gets patches almost on a daily basis so there's no point in testing anything at the moment.

And mostly important, the official pre-game editor hasn't been released yet so we can't start creating our tactic testing league for FM26.

And when the above is solved then of course, it would takes some time to adjust our tactic testing server for FM26 before we start testing tactics for FM26.


Thank you for your reply, we are eagerly waiting for the same. Many Thanks!
Any idea when Fm Arena will start testing tactics for FM 2026, you guys did a marvellous job on testing FM 2024. Many thanks!
@Gerrard Can you post your highway star p 108 here, I won back to back EPL, CL, FA cup with Arsenal first two seasons in Fm 26 :D
Gerrard said: ARGUS 3ATB is still weak. I may have a solution which is a hybrid.

@Gerrard If you may can you please post your favourite tactic here. Just for my knowledge as I know testing hasn't begun yet. Many Thanks!:D
Regards
@Gerrard  Using argus highway star and azure26 set piece, I won 5-0 at home against City and 6-1 away at Chelsea with Arsenal!
Gerrard said: Same as last year HIGHWAY STAR STORMBRIBGER SPEED KING.

Added Sunderland underdog test


So you think highway star argus ranks the best along with azure26 set piece?
@Gerrard  Hello, what tactic do you suggest for beta in the meanwhile as testing has not yet started?
Amazing what I have achieved with this tactic 25 champions league victories & now this new stadium for Arsenal in my name capacity of 1,35,000 😀
20 champions league wins with arsenal using this tactic and set piece blue
Gerrard said: No OIs AM Shouts

MARTINHO Shouts guide:

Score: 0-0; after 15 mins the first shout is always 'encourage'. If still 0-0 at 25 mins shout 'demand more' (in 90% of matches). If you are a small team against a top team, use 'no pressure'. If still 0-0, at 37 mins shout 'encourage' again. Repeat this cycle in the 2nd half if still 0-0.

Break from this cycle if at any point if you score. Praise the individals who scored the goal, and player that gave the assist. If the match continues 1-0 to 90 mins, no further shouts will be needed. Ive not found any shout consistently effective when 1 nil up.

If you score a second goal, again praise the individals who scored the goal and the player that gave the assist. If you score a 3rd goal, then 'priase' the entire team. (4th goal = priase goalscorer and assister, 5th goal 'praise' entire team and so on.)

If the opponents equalise, revert to the cycle of 'encourage' and 'demand more' as above, but be cautious not to use the same team shout twice in a row.

If 2 nil up or 3 nil and the opposition bring it back to 2-1 or 3-1, dont use any shout.

If ever a goal down, instead of cycling 'encourge' and 'demand more', cycle 'demand more' and 'show some passion', except however as soon as you concede the first shout should be 'encourage' (unless you had previously used the 'encourage' shout last when you were drawing).

If 2 goals down, the first shout (on immediately condeding the 2nd goal) should be 'berate'. If you continue to be 2 goals down, cycle 'berate', 'show some passion' and 'demand more'.

When you equalise, immediatley after the equalising goal goes use either 'encourge' or 'demand more' (based on your previous shouts in the match (you never want to use 'encourge' or 'demand more' twice in a row as you wont get as a good a rection), then go back to cycling these 2 shouts. Only stop this cycle if you go in front, at which time you will revert to praising the goalscorer and assister (except if you go in front to make the score 3-2, you should use that opportunity to 'praise' the entire team).

Exceptions: 2nd leg of 2 legged ties. The 2nd leg of a tie only follows these rules above if you are drawing or behind. If winning from the 1st leg, do not use any shouts as they will have poor results, that is, unless you score, then follow the above shouts for going 1-0, 2-0 and 3-0 up, or if your opponent equalised the tie on aggregate (or takes the lead on aggregate) then go back to following the above suggestions.

Hope that is clear !

Cadoni recommended shouts or use AM for Shouts

FM22 Shouts - Encourage (0-0; 20 min mark) - Calm Down (win 1-0 after you scoring) - Demand More (draw) - Praise (win by 2 goals) - Berate (loss by 2 goals


So basically we can use AM shouts and no OI's? @Gerrard
@Gerrard do we use any OI and shouts? Or let AM handle OI and shouts?
Haaland scores 82 goals using this tactic
Won all 6 trophies with this tactic and haal and scores 82 goals & havertz 50
ZaZ said: If you are losing with the best tactic and the best players, then your problem is probably management. I mean, you can try loading the tactic on your team and going in vacation for the whole season, and you will probably grab most trophies. With a player managing the team, performance should be higher, not lower. Try to keep morale high, fatigue low, condition in top shape, use proper team talk and shouts, avoid injuries, recover players from bad spells, and so on. Also, remember even the best tactic will have losses, sometimes five or ten matches in a row without winning, but on average it will still be doing well.

Yes this makes sense to me and also your correct, with going on holiday I won everything including the CL and when manually playing I got knocked out 2 season in the quarter finals!
I'm playing with this tactic - https://fm-arena.com/thread/12717-ef-424-if-hp-v2-p101-ac/

Still losing away matches playing against big teams away. Im playing Arsenal with Haaland and spending over 500 Mil pounds still unable to win CL got knocked out two continuous seasons in quarter final. I really doubt if this is the best tactic on FM.

Even with high morale, team cohesion unable to win matches against big teams, have 10 shots on target still losing matches even with opponents having 2 shots against me. Also, leaking goals too much. This game has become really frustrating
Can you please advise me how to check goals from set pieces? Many thanks!
Is Blue or Azure V3 the best set piece schedule?
@infxamus  do we train all players to individual positions?

and how to load training files into the game?

many thanks :D
Any OI's or touchline shouts? And do you have a set piece corner routine?
