When i'm doing the print screen of the regens on the shortlist, i'm i supposed to overwrite the previous word file or to create a new one with a diferent name?

Yeah mate, overwrite the previous saved file or create a new one then in newgan manager, rather than use preserve, use generate

Droid said: Hi,

The following algorithm is used at this moment:

- if a tactic gets straight to the top after 1200 matches then at fist it gets tested up to 2400 matches and if it still keeps the 1st place after 2400 matches only then it gets tested up to 4000 matches


Lovely, thanks for info mate
quartquin said: isn't it possible, in theory, for a tactic to win points on 4000? its random generated so there is a factor of luck no matter what, ofc less luck the more games played, but always a factor of luck involved, so this means tactics can gain points for more games played because of it being random no?

Yes but it could also lose points. I think if my memory serves me correctly 4000 is the sweet spot for RNG but you are right luck plays a part

Hey mate,

I've just dropped another tactic which did better than this one in my testing. Moved IFs to IFa for a little more intensity as well as increasing the tempo one notch

pixar said: Since it's tactic HOF, it was probably tested with the 2400 first. If it was still at the top tactic after 2400, it would probably be retested at 4000.

look zippo's post: https://fm-arena.com/find-comment/28453/


It was the top tactic though so surely it should've been tested for 4000 regardless of the result at 2400 but then again probably best leaving it as another 1600 matches could see it drop further down the list
@Zippo @Droid Morning, will this tactic be tested with 4000 matches or is it just 1200 increments once a certain score has been achieved? apologies if you've already answered this elsewhere

Mark said: Great stuff @CBP87. This is the shape I have had most success with in game but my tactic failed on FM Arena. I am still using it with great success but might now throw yours in as the Main Tactics. I run between 4 tactics, with 424 Grand Vol as a control tactic after we score or if the opposition is going more attacking, 343 Italian KO to Park the Bus and 424 Deformation II if we need a goal.

I just make sure I have a few versatile players and the bench to support transitioning between the tactics if I need it.


Thanks mate, appreciate it. Hopefully it works for you
Chewbacca said: @CBP87, gratz with the 1st place and good luck in surviving 4K test :)



Thanks mate, I suspect it won't stay on top for long, especially when the 4k test kicks in
Tested with City, Treble winning. Haaland 90 goals. AM in charge of training and team selection, however I did stick Haaland in the AF role and went on holiday.





Good post @DonCarlo some good pointers

Just to add to the tempo part, I see a lot of people complaining that the team is shattered and they usually concede goals in the last 20 mins of the game, reducing the tempo will help you maintain fitness a little while longer as you've not got them tired players bombing forward.

Mark said: Unfortunately not. I use Genie Scout ratings. I have said before a few times that filters are a lot harder, as it depends on the League you are playing in. For a single rating it is quite easy to see what rating you need for a League/Division. But to do the same going through all the attributes you might want to consider would be very hard.

So I have never bothered.


No worries mate, could you give me an example of what you would look for based on them weightings in say a ball playing defender please?
