ZaZ said: Those things happen with any tactic a few times a season, it is like that since older FMs. Sometimes you just lose or tie five matches in a row, even with the best tactic, before players start scoring again. It might even be some hidden mechanic at this point.

I am just sticking to winter, its giving me great results and I am winning everything :D
Omg, I have never scored so many goals :D
Im just in love with winter, the goals just keep coming :D
P.S. I don't know why but in fact im losing games 4-0 and 3-1 away with Autumn
@ZaZ Like you said I tried Autumn for tough away games and the result is unbelievable mate :D
Keep em coming!!!
ZaZ said: Thank you for testing, glad to know it works in your games as it did in my testing! I am now in my watching stage of testing, when I play a bit to see how the tactic plays to identify what players can be more effective, and what parts of the field need extra attention. Hopefully it will improve even further in the future, especially after FM-Arena starts testing to allow micro-improvements.



Both Autumn 0.2 and Winter 0.2 are plug and play, they have a good balance between attack and defense that allows them to be used in any situation. Winter is slightly better at scoring goals, and Autumn is slightly better at not conceding, so you can use one for easier matches and another to hold results, if you wish, but they both have very close performance.


Yes you absolutely right I am really smashing it now thanks to your tactics!!
13 wins in a row and unbeaten in 26 games
Next season I start my rout with a a smashing of Liverpool in the CS and mind you Liverpool is the best club in the game :D
First season with Autumn 0.2, I make a clean sweep with Arsenal, won the Carabao Cup, the FA cup, The EPL as well as the Champions League beating in form Liverpool in the finals. This is definitely the best tactic on FM 26 at the moment. Thank you @ZaZ
ZaZ said: Ohh, sorry, I thought you were asking about this tactic, Autumn. If you are using Winter, then this one would be a good pair to use in away or tough matches. However, Winter seems to be solid enough to be used in any situation, too.

P.S.: I would only change mentality from Attacking if I had a good advantage, like two goals ahead.


So basically I can use winter 0.2 just plug and play right? Its better than Autumn
so autumn for tough away matches and other wise winter is what you recommend?
Actually after switching to positive for away games I am drawing more games earlier with attacking I was winning even away games

This tactic has a very solid defense, so it is my recommendation for tough and away matches (or any type of match, to be more precise).




I would recommend to use Positive instead of Balanced. At least in my limited experiments with mentality, it did a better job defensively.


So using Winter 0.2 only change for away is positive mentality?
And do you recommend any tactic for away or tough matches or plug and play with Winter 0.2?
ZaZ said: Considering only my tactics, I feel like either Winter 0.2 or Autumn 0.2 perform equally well, so I would recommend the one that fits better with your squad. Personally, I prefer Winter 0.2, because it scores more goals.

Okay I will test with Winter 0.2, can you please share your link for the result sheet? Thank you!
@ZaZ  For just plug and play which tactic would you recommend overall??

Sorry for posting out of context, but any idea who are some of the best GK in FM 26?
ZaZ said: You got FMed. There isn't much what you can do about it, statistics is just annoying. If you have 5% chance to lose a match you dominated, it means you will lose it once every 20 tries, on average.

that's true, very well said :D
Can anyone explain this ME, I lost a home match and got knocked out of FA cup I have 16-3 shots on target and lose 0-3 ????
Next season starts by winning the CS and the UEFA super cup without conceding any goals :D
