Strikers and Inside Forwards/Wingers really shine this year. Expand
I'll be honest, I'm not expecting it to do well in the test but its did well in my own testing, so I thought I'd put it out there to see how it got on
I've been looking at ways to get a strikerless tactic working, especially considering the shape last year was so dominant and the tactics put out by ZaZ and Magician as well as others were fantastic.
I wanted to use the same shape 4132 with no strikers, I have come up with the below shape, similar TIs and PIs to what I've been using for FM22. With that said I bring you the Witcher (if you haven't watched it then you need to get on Netflix and get it a whirl)
As always I have tested with Villa and PSG. AM in charge of general training and team selection, however I selected Mbappe in the shadow striker role for the PSG and selected use current team selection for the holiday test. NO EDITORS USED!
Villa Villa predicted 10th, finished 5th and secured European football, could've been a lot better but they dropped 9 points in the last 5 games of the season. Youngster Jacob Ramsey top scored with 23 goals in all comps. Villa also beat all PL averages in the general performance stats
PSG Won the treble, ran into Liverpool in the UCL and got knocked out. Mbappe was top scored in all comps with 48 goals, the team scored 202 goals in all competitions. Messi was the stand out performer for PSG, getting an 8.03 rating and having 74 goals involvements in all comps. All averages beaten in the general performance.
I've been working on a 442 that I feel is finally ready to share, I've took inspiration from Mongoose in terms of the roles used. I tested with Villa and PSG, leaving AM in charge of team selection and general training. First transfer window is disabled. NO EDITORS USED.
It is quite an aggressive tactic, so expect cards. Matty Cash was responsible for 4 of the Villa red cards. I will be looking to test without the tackle harder PI.
Mongoose Rejuvenated with Celta Vigo, predicted 10th, finished 2nd. Have to be honest though, La Liga is a strange old league this year, seems like all the big guns are underperforming (points wise)
Seeing as it looks like positive mentality is becoming strong again, I've tweaked Mongoose from FM21. As always, holiday tested with AM in charge of general training and team selection. NO EDITORS USED
Main tweaks -
IWB to attacking duty DLP to DM Removed work ball into box
ZaZ said: Well, everyone has a different way to show results here. Some people post holiday tests, some people test with lower leagues, some people test with a godly team in 2026 while others just play normaly and show how their season is going. Maybe he used saves to backtrack in case of bad luck, or maybe he just saves a lot since he says he doesn't have much time. I don't see all this witch hunt in other posts with deceiving results, it's borderline bullying. Expand
I haven't seen any other posts with deceiving results? Borderline bullying?? how, by asking him why he saved his game excessively, how is that borderline bullying! come off it
Tsubasa said: I complete agree with that but if you think about it, there's no way to be 100% certain whether someone cheated or not even he had saved the game 1000 times and it shows that he used the in-game editor, but when you see that the result posted by the author is drastically different from fm-arena rating then it gives serious reason to doubt. Anyway, everyone is free to make their own opinion about it. Expand
Yeah I agree, there is no way of knowing whether or not he did. As you said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I'm just sharing my thoughts on the matter
I get your points but I'm sorry I don't agree with the only thing that counts is the score from the test. If he had stated in the OP that he had used the editor then fair enough but he didn't and in a way to me that is a way of trying to con us that the tactic is better than what it actually is. All I was asking is why he had saved the game an excessive number of times and he became defensive and abusive. I was actually trying to help him by asking him about the excessive saving as people were showing that he had potentially cheated.
One thing I don't like is people misleading others, whether you see it as wrong or right or the fact that the only thing that is relevant is the test results. We should be honest about our own testing
MakeSuRE said: No more conversation with a cheater like me plz. As long as I finished my whole shaming season, I will put my ugly screentshots onto this thread and maybe at that time more people would stand by u and shout ' WHY YOU SAVED SO MANY TIMES'.
I swipe out something I would like to say/complain/argue, cos I find out what I am doing is just what u did to me. Frankly speaking, I have no obligation or right to bend ur will, nor do u. So I apologize for my offence and leave u free to dig the truth of this 79-times-game-saving case.
Sincere thanks to everyone who downloaded, used, and leaved comments, and I would never reply to any posts about the game saving times or sth else about CHEATING.

I think there are already a number of people who are thinking the same as me, you've saved the game 79 times, someone has called you out on potentially "cheating". My questioning is trying to help you ascertain that you're not, so if you would explain why you've saved 79 times for 50 games then I'm sure it would go somewhere to easing peoples opinions. But you haven't done that, you've become very defensive and abusive which to be honest in my opinion makes it look like you are cheating
You're missing the point, you say you save after every game. You played 50 games and saves 79 times, all I'm asking is why you saved so many times? Very defensive and if anyone is being aggressive, it's you with the swearing
I agree with you, they are definitely not what they were last year
Strikers and Inside Forwards/Wingers really shine this year.

Villa predicted 10th, finished 4th with 75 points
PSG predicted 1st, finished 1st. Won everything
Main tweaks -
IWB to attacking duty
DLP to DM
Removed work ball into box
smaller tweaks are more around PIs
Villa finished 3rd
PSG won everything, look at those player ratings
