wvrdvn said: It’s not a plug and play tactic. If you don’t have the right players you won’t get the best results. Re training players is needed to get the best out of it. This tactic won 82% of its game during testing. You will lose games, no tactic is 100% unbeatable. Don’t plug this in to expect to win every game. You’ll win majority yes. Not all Expand
All the players are 100% trained and familiar with the tactic, morale is at 100% and so is sharpness. Just won 6 in a row and went away to Gijon who are last in the table and lost 3-0 with every player being horrible.
Don't get me wrong, this is one of the best tactics in FM ever, you will massively overachieve, but the game seems to make you randomly get battered for no reason and no explanation and this happens no matter what tactic you use. This didn't happen in FM24. Yes, you would randomly lose due to an unlucky game, but in this game I just get straight battered 3/4/5-0 and all my world class players can't do anything against a relegation team.

Very possible. I think in FM24 it was different, OP tactics were consistently good, in FM26 have much higher "highs" but also random lower "lows"

It happens before or after patches, so has nothing to do with it. I think the game is forcing you to lose sometimes just to break your form, because it makes 0 sense to lose these games with a tactic like this and when you take previous amazing results into consideration.
For example, I just went on a 3 game winless streak to 3 random teams (with Betis in 2026) and then went to Liverpool at Anfield and won without issues. Makes no sense.
Tatui said: I don't know why ALL the tactics I'm using in this FM are working at the beginning and then, little by little, the results start to fluctuate negatively, even against opponents that aren't difficult. I still don't understand why this is happening. But all these ARGUS tactics had a great start and then began to decline. I don't know if the game wants tactics to be constantly rethought. Expand
Same here. Every single tactic I try stops working over some time. I use Real Betis, and when I first load these OP tactics, I beat Barcelona, Madrid, everyone with ease. However, after 9-10 games I just start losing games every week even though morale and sharpness are perfect for everyone. Really not sure why this keeps happening.
I just went from winning at Bernabeu with Betis original squad from 2025 to losing 6-1 to Lille and it could have been 10. Same tactics, everything absolutely the same. I think the tactics in FM24 way were more consistent.
I don't understand him. This tactic doesn't work anymore?
