Steelwood said: Does anyone know why 'dribble more' has such an impact on results but only really for the centre-back position?

For me, it's bring ball out of defence
Wanted to try a 3 at the back with the over poweringness of the front line of a 424.

Holiday tested

Manidaro7 said: can you be more specific please? i need to know what characteristics you need for a goalkeeper

Handling, Reflexes, Positioning, Agility and Jumping Reach
Manidaro7 said: And for goalkeepers?

I tend to just get a very good shot stopper, with the instruction to roll it out, I don't think it matters about throwing and passing
Cyclingstrategist said: I’m sorry but the tactic doesn’t work for me, i play olympique lyonnais, i recruit best staff in the begining of the season and i’m 15th at winter… do you have any advice ? Thanks for your work and sorry for my english…

Do you have the right players for the tactics? The tactic was tested for 14400 matches and scored the best overall which would indicate the consistency of this tactic is very very good. I would suggest probably training your players in the roles required for the tactic and also picking your fastest players. Ensure your right IF is left footed and your left IF is right footed as these will be cutting in. I've found in the past when I have a put a right footed player on the right or left footed on the left that once they have cut in they tend to move the ball back to their strongest foot and essentially done the opposition of the role. Concentrate on acceleration and pace when selecting your team, this is crucial
Manidaro7 said: Kindly could one have the list of skills role by role?

what do you mean by skills? do you mean player instructions? if so check out this post https://fm-arena.com/find-comment/34217/
Tavares82 said: @CBP87 Is it still valid for this version?

So for me, I look for no minimum than 14 in the below attributes, however I would drop the attribute value down by 1 depending on the team you are. You should be able to get 14 in the attributes though as I don't look for a lot. Acceleration and Pace to be included in all positions as well as the attributes listed below.

FB/DM - Stamina, Work Rate
BPD - Jumping Reach, Strength and Positioning
IF - Agility, Dribbling
AM - Agility, Dribbling, Passing, Vision (I look for these as I tend to train try killer balls often)
AF - Agility, Dribbling, First Touch, Finishing, Off the ball


I would say so yes. But concentrate on acceleration and pace more than anything else

Not much of a drop off, very consistent well done :thup: @Gerrard
Gianaa9 said: @Zippo will this one be tested for 14k also? Cause it would be great to see the true difference between this one and 424 Classic v28 but that scored 68.3 with 9.6k and 67.7 with 14k, so with just the 9k test on this one it’s difficult to compare them e.e

I second this. I requested previously that we maybe have the scores shown at each stage of testing. For example, score after 4800 matches, then 9600 etc... I think this would help us compare how a tactic has performed against a tactic of the same shape, but I also think that if a shape has had a certain number of matches tested then if this tactic is beaten then the tactic that has beaten it also has to have the same number of tested matches, I think it's more fair to do it this way. As @Gianaa9 said his tactic achieved 68.3 after 9600 matches which would still be top but was tested for a further 4800 matches and dropped to 67.7. Technically he still has the highest rated tactic over 9600 matches but that's not showing.
The Lone Wanderer said: Armel Kasong. He is an absolute world beater. There was no way promotion was gonna happen without this stud. He tops the assists and goals charts for the league as well as having the best average rating.

I will absolutely offer him a new contract but if he wants to go i think i will allow it for the absolute carrying of this team he has done. I think the big hitters are gonna start noticing him now though with Atletico madrid interested.

He developed so fast i knew the scouts had it wrong. His ceiling was supposed to be that of a championship player but he is already said to be a good premier league player at such a young age. I'm shocked he hasn't had a England youth call up either.


56 goal involvements and he is only 20!!! Man is on fire, bets of luck in the Prem mate
The Lone Wanderer said: Here is my results for a full championship season using this tactic.

Media prediction was for the team to get relegated as always. My wage budget was as expected lowest in the league by a good margin. I had no worries about staying up and thought that i would get promoted using the tactic but it may take a few seasons. I was very wrong.

I did manage to find an absolute world-beater who was released from a premier league youth team. He just kept improving and became premier league standard this season. I promised him a move if his price tag was met and then his price tag just kept getting higher and higher. We had a chance at promotion so i told him he was staying which he didn't like but he always played to his best regardless.

I don't know whether i'll be able to keep him or not next season but he was happy abut staying at the end of it all. Anyway here are the fantastic results. I tended to be more cautious or balanced away from home and see how the game unfolded but at home i mainly stuck to positive throughout. This led to some absolute thrashings and i was very pleased. The home results were pivotal in the promotion push.


lovely mate, thanks for sharing.

I'm really intrigued as to who this player is
