Carl said: Why not create a tactic with Midfielders Expand
Because it doesn't work as effective as a tactic with defensive midfielders, the double pivot is very OP and I have created tactics with central midfielders and the tactics were no way near as effective as tactics with defensive midfielders.
I'm pretty sure you've asked me this question before
VOL attack to VOL support FB support to FB attack Take more risks, sit narrower, dribble more and shoot less often added to FB Dribble more and move into channels added to VOL Sit narrower removed from IF Dribble more, roam from position and move into channels added to AM
Droid said: Nope, we don't capture that information.
But if you're really intrigued that much then you can calculate it yourself.
It only requires to calculate PPM(Points Per Match) from the first 3 tests and them multiply by 38 and you'll get the score after 1,200 matches. Expand
Peter78 said: @CBP87 did you see any noticeable difference between mentalities and if so would you recommend starting and staying with Attacking, or varying between Balanced at start and changing depending on how the game is going? Expand
Hey, I would stick with attacking but adjust other aspect of the instructions. For example, difficult away games, I take off prevent short gk distribution and counter press and that seems to help
Did anyone notice what score it got at 1200 and 2400 matches please? @Zippo@Droid do you guys capture that information anywhere? Just intrigued if there was a point swing
Changes - Removed take more risks from DM Added sit narrower to FBs Removed shoot less often, stay wider, run wide with ball, dribble more and take more risks from FB
Grintar said: Well, as a rule, everything is often fine against big teams... but against weak teams, the loss of points begins... what is the best mentality to use then? Thank you Expand
Ok this is something I've struggled wit as well because they tend to park the bus against you. I found lowering the tempo to slightly lower helps as you retain the ball which hopefully in turns draws a player out of position for you to exploit. In my current Barca save I found this against every team I came up against so reduced the tempo to slightly lower and I've lost 1 game in 2 seasons in the league
Grintar said: And one more question: how to deal with the result on the road? I play for Lazio and sometimes it’s a complete disaster on the road Expand
Depends on who you are playing, but remember your squad has a lot to do it, are you expected to lose? who are you coming up against? Inter? Milan? Juve?
Grintar said: Hello, can you tell me if the results are affected somehow if you play through a quick result or still watch the whole match? Expand
Hello, I use instant result most of the time and the tactic performs fine, only difference with you playing the game would be the shouts and decisions you are making during the game

Pretty much used the PIs for the FBs from https://fm-arena.com/thread/9100-cosmos-71-p107-4231/ to try and replicate the defensive solidity the tactic showed in testing
I suspect it will drop, hopefully not, but the likelihood is that it will
Changes-
Width changed to narrow
Changes -
Removed overlap
Added underlap
Stay wider added to IFs
DMs changes to VOLa

Yeah I tend to stick with the same instructions unless I'm struggling against a team that is parking the bus, I switch to slightly lower tempo
Try slightly lower
