Nikos said: First of all, congratulations on the tactic. It works excellently (Panathinaikos, Greek Super League). I think you should also create a set-piece routine based on the back three. Expand
Thank you, I use katana set pieces which I was using in FM24, still seem to be working ok
ElegantCommand888 said: Airdrieonians Scottish 2nd division. It started the season outperforming what I had experienced with Autumn, then we started drawing and losing, we still finished the season outperforming media prediction though and thought it could be down to just dip in form during the season, however I started another season same file, same team, same personnel and did the same season with Autumn and resulted with less draws and losses, and more goals.
Always could be RNG, but based off what you stated about the TI differences I would expect Barbie to outperform Autumn given my personnel.

You also have to attribute player quality, the lower down the leagues you go then the likelihood is you're going to see more players that are less physical then players towards the top leagues, by that I mean acceleration and pace. So teams rely more on crosses and headers and you're less likely to see balls played through because the quality just sometimes isnt there. Don't rule out how important acceleration and pace is but also autumn is a very very good tactic
ElegantCommand888 said: I found that compared to autumn my defense was more leaky in this tactic for some reason, chance conversion lower in some matches as well.
The only difference I could attribute would be due to the line behavior TI and crossing style.
What team are you? Step up more is leaving more space between the defence and GK so you're potentially more at risk of through balls. I'll be honest in terms of crossing, I don't really have an opinion, low crosses will hit feet, balanced will hit feet and head so there is a mixture but for balanced crossing to work you would need a striker with decent heading/strength
stalvat said: hey thanks for your tactic, what kind of player would you recommend as a AM? Expand
Stick a striker there, that's all I've ever used
RMHenry said: Amazing, thank you. Curious, if I turned on "Play For Set Pieces", would it make the tactic noticeably worse? I want the best tactic but also want my main goalscorer to bag a lot of pens too. Expand
I haven't tried play for set pieces but this tactic should be getting the most out of your main goalscorer
TurboHips said: Hi mate. If I’ve made the tactic and put the pi’s and ti’s on but haven’t put the mentality as attacking by mistake would I have to remake the tactic or just make it attacking Expand
ZaZ said: Such a gap caused by the synergy between two instructions (low crosses + balanced defensive line behavior). The worst part is that I cannot grasp the relationship between the two. Expand
Could it be being impacted by the cross from byline instruction? IMO the defensive line being higher leaves space in behind and if you're full backs are further up the field then you're more susceptible to a fast counter, especially with a ball over the top or to the flanks but with that much lower defenisve line at least that space isn't really there
Thedog89 said: So you use Haaland on the AMC position? And no matter team you use a pure striker on that position even though they might never get fully adapted or not even close to being natural on the AMC position?
I tried similar tactics but always went for an AMC player, but they often lack really good shooting (15/16+) and physic. So i feel like i get to easy locked down in some matches if i have two small/avg wingers and an AMC/playmaker type in the middle? Expand
I have only ever used a striker in the SS role, in my Porto save, I played Samu Aghehowa there and it took him about 6-7 months playing in that role before he became AMC/ST, you could add role training, but I didn't bother, I just played him there from the off, he was 2 star rated at the start and by February he was 5 stars in that role. He scored 55 goals in 37 appearances in all comps
Alexandru said: I have a question about instructions, as maybe console version differs a bit. Here you put "move into channels" for CHM. I can see on PS5 that for CHM this is default one so no need to change. Is it different on PC? Just wanted to understand why you put it specifically. The same is for IF - "take more risks" passing - e.g. it is already active when put IF role. Expand
The PIs are locked in, I just typed them in, habit I'm afraid
TurboHips said: Wow mate well done what’s the instructions ? Expand
OCB - shoot less often, take more risks and tackle harder BCB - tackle harder AWB - stay narrower, shoot less often, cross from byline and tackle harder CHM - move into channels, tackle harder IF - stay wider, take more risks, tackle harder SS - tackle harder
Nocrel said: Hello, wonderful job thanks for that ! Maybe a noob question, but this type of compo is playable with a "classical striker"? i see that you succeedeed very well with Haaland so i guess it can work well (on my save I got Esposito and I wonder how can he be succesful on this kind of tactic. Expand
Hello, thank you, I would just stick him in the SS role, you can train the role which would make him familiar much quicker but I would just stick him there and he should still produce the goods. I would avoid a striker role to be honest, testing has proven that the striker role isn't effective, I think the top tactic with a striker is 10/11 points behind the top ones
Yes I created them myself. There are probably better ones out there for FM26, I've just not got round to creating any yet
Thank you, I use katana set pieces which I was using in FM24, still seem to be working ok
Changes -
Added step up more
Added balanced crossing

@CBP87 any idea what could be causing?

Yes, just change the mentality to attacking
I don't know what you mean
Who knows, but it has scored highest in the arena testing but the best tactic is a matter of peoples opinion
