gohan said: i play on ios fm touch, i play on the latest patch 24.3.0 update, i dont know what tactic is the correct one for my patch. pls help

This one is
gohan said: i check on ingame status it says 24.4.3 (m.e 24.0.0 and database version 24.3.0. so i confused what patch i should copy for my tactic

Waqasnufc said: Player instructions?

This is an fm23 attributes testing. The test is old and the tactic is not usable
Waqasnufc said: Is this still useable

No lol. Use the latest patch tactics
Waqasnufc said: As my strikers are not tall it's should be whipped cross instead of low?

Low crosses are meta
Gerrard said: 442 high tempo short passing

@Grimlock please give player instructions
gohan said: is this the correct version for fm touch latest update?
No
Go for latest patch
Also latest update for touch is 1.0.7
Gerrard said: 433 N High tempo standard passing

Pis?
Gerrard said: The tactics on tab have already been lowered if necessary. Any other tactics should work on a dropped mentality apart from 424s that can stay the same. All other instructions can stay the same.

Can you drop "very defensive tactic" and "waste time" player roles and instructions?

DLF on attack. Interesting.. waiting for the results knap!
Gerrard said: 42112 SHORT PASSING HIGH TEMPO

Can you make a new 4240?
Waqasnufc said: Can you send the video for save energy. Waste time and defend on this tactic please as I can't download the file will be really helpful again or even screenshots if you can

@Gerrard that would be really helpful mate
A Smile said: Mainly adjustments to the roles and tactical instructions of attacking players.

Why doesn't the IF have hold up ball and roam from position like other 424?
Gerrard said: Depends on tactic structure

How does fm arena determines if a tactic is a PNP or not? Some pnp tactics doesn't work for weaker teams yet they are labeled as plug and play

Are under laps and overlaps not meta anymore?
A Smile said: I wouldn't use this tactic in competitive PvP matches, as this Forward Duty combination will get absolutely battered.:(

I'm only playing PVE if that will help
A Smile said: PFS+PFD
remove underlaps.


Using this tactic, what tweaks do you do in certain situations such as wasting time, trying to score for a comeback?
A Smile said: "Hold Up Ball" means receiving the ball, shielding it, observing teammates' runs, and deciding the next move – intentionally slowing down the tempo. This instruction is closely tied to a player's Strength attribute,this is also the reason why, when selecting wingers for online leagues, we prioritize the strength attribute alongside pace and acceleration.

I believe "Hold Up Ball" and "Dribble More" are largely contradictory instructions, even though roles like IF and IW can technically have both. It's similar to how a DLF can have both "Hold Position" and "Move Into Channels" – I suspect this is an oversight by SI.

In summary:

I don't recommend using "Hold Up Ball" for an AMC. Good playmakers are technical players who usually have low Strength.

It’s also pointless in this position: when the ball reaches the AMC via short passes, your strikers/wingers should already be positioned.

However, the Trequartista role suits "Hold Up Ball" well – I confirmed this in testing. Though its extremely low pressing intensity makes it generally not ideal.


I'm trying to build my own 4222 based on top tactic in fm arena. Got any tips? Plus I'll use take more risks dribbling more move into channels and tackle harder based on your explanation
