Hi,

Firstly, there any research done on Players Partnership? If so, ignore this post, and can you please refer to the source? I would like to know.

I was thinking, for example, in a 2 or more seasons period, a tactic with the most player partnerships can beat a better "plug in tactic."

So this tactic that looks at least like a tactic that allows more player partnerships is:
-> 3 DC 3 DM 1 AM 3 Striker

-> Allows Players Partnerships = 12

However, I don't know if this tactic is worth it. I think we need a middle ground between one good tactic based on the FM Arena Testing Table and Partnerships.

The top tactic in this moment is "PERFECT STRANGERS 42112 WIWBA P107 EF".
-> Allows Players Partnerships = 5
Like most of the meta tactics, the player partnerships are between 5/6.

After a little research on my part and eye testing, I think it would be fun to test the following tactics over at least 2 seasons:

PERFECT STRANGERS 42112 WIWBA P107 EF
  - https://fm-arena.com/thread/15323-perfect-strangers-42112-wiwba-p107-ef/
  - +19 over a season of testing
  - Players Partnerships = 5

4213 StriMad fwxm dunk ATT
  - https://fm-arena.com/thread/15625-4213-strimad-fwxm-dunk-att/
  - +10 over a season of testing
  - Players Partnerships = 8

3 DC 3 DM 1 AM 3 Striker
  - In the Attachments
  - I'm in the save right now in holiday to put on testing
  - Players Partnerships = 12

So, I'm probably saying some things wrong. If someone has any ideas or tactics about this topic, please share.
In resume, I would like to know if there is an automated way or if we can use the Tactic Testing for this.


PS:
Now in a career mode, if using a tactic with more player partnerships is worth it over a bigger timeline, then having a team and training plan to avoid injuries should be essential.
In one of my saves right now, I'm using "4213 StriMad fwxm dunk ATT" and I'm having good results. Once I finish 3 seasons with this one, I will give the "3 DC 3 DM 1 AM 3 Striker" a try.

Hi,
Beginner here, why do all the top tactics have the same instructions on the possession/tradition/Out of possession?

I can see that the tactic 4-2-4 (The best formation) is the most tested and is "almost maxed out." Having into account the number of times, the tactic was tested with different Instructions Tactic / PI / player positions.

It is possible that, for example, another formation can benefit from others instructions? If not, why is the consensus that all the same tactic instructions are the best for any type of tactic formation?
