A Smile said: Thanks for your praise, SI will not change the current race engine, we will have to work on the engine that is almost studied. I think we're aiming for 70 now, so let's work together.:)

I agree, hopefully as a community we can get there

Dayvid said: do you use a training schedule or just leave to the assistant?

In these holiday tests I leave it to the AM but when I'm playing a save I do my own training schedules

Changes inspired by the double pivot shown here https://fm-arena.com/thread/10931-424-mi-su7-underlap/ from @A Smile I also moved the PF over to the centre to allow the runs of the Volante.







Davieboy said: hi do you train the players in the postions or leave to assistant?

Hey, I train the players in the roles I want to use them in, but I also look at additional focus, I focus on physicals, so if they lack acceleration and pace, I will train quickness. My guidelines are if its 15 or under Ill focus on it
MUForever said: Thanks, it's been working great in my save so far. Was just asking since my assistant would often say to switch to a positive mentality

Yeah ignore him. I don't think anyone listens to the AM

Tweaked version of https://fm-arena.com/thread/10629-katana-4231-att-103p-v1-9/

Changes -
Removed get stuck in
Removed tackle harder from all roles

Removed these due to the suggestions from this thread https://fm-arena.com/thread/10934-how-to-deal-with-lots-of-yellow-cards/







MUForever said: Hi, this is my first FM. Should I be using the balanced mentality for every game or should I change according to opponent and in game?

Hey, the balanced mentality should work fine but please don't expect to win every game, you're going to lose some games. Concentrate on getting the fastest squad you can get, acceleration and pace is key. If you have high values in these attributes then you should win most games
Tweaked version of this from @alex https://fm-arena.com/thread/10923-442-classic-with-style/ assuming he has used a @Gianaa9 tactic as the base considering the tactical style naming.

All props to them, just wanted to see how the tactic would perform with the the DM double pivot. Scored well, conceded few and did well with the overall points in the PL and a few trophies in the cabinet to go along with it.

Holiday tested. I selected best XI.
