ZaZ said: If I have 5 subs, I usually do 4 during half time, and leave one to the last 15 minutes (unless the match is tight, else I save it in case of some injury or red card). Expand
@ZaZ What would you say is the order of importance of the positions? The most important positions in the tactic? Can you give me an order so I can decide which position to choose the best player for first?
LightningFlik said: You've already inspired me to create my own. I wrote some C code which reads the memory of Football Manager while it's running and serves it via a local web-server to the browser. The browser renders the currently-viewed player, a summary of all player's in your squads (and their role ratings), and I'm adding player search too (so far I've only added a wonderkid finder, because it doesn't need any input form elements configuring).
It's Linux only at the moment, but I imagine the memory addresses of various elements are the same in Windows (given how Proton works).
(You can spot the vibe-coded UI a mile away because writing CSS is the least interesting part of this for me, but all the C code to read data from memory and _all_ the investigations in to mapping the game's internals was done personally). Expand
Wow! @LightningFlik If you get a Windows version soon, please share it with us!
@Possebrew Hello, my friend! How are you? Excellent update. The Portuguese language is already loading better, but the position reading is still not 100%. Here's an example, the player Massimo Fillipini. With the data in English, he appears as an option. With the data in Portuguese, he doesn't appear.
Possebrew said: That upload was very helpful, it helped me find a lot of bugs. The benefit of using real data vs synthetic data
The interim formula also seems to not be as OK as I had expected, had to redo the aggregation and all that. It wasn't wrong per se, but it was causing the Core4 Attributes (Acc, Pac, Jum, Dri) to have an even bigger impact on the final score than they already have.
So the overall scores might be a bit lower than before, and will favor all-rounders more.
I haven't fixed all the bugs yet, but I should have a release available this weekend.
Thank you! Expand
Awesome! Tks for the reply and congrats for built this!
Possebrew said: FM24 or FM26? Squad or Player Database? By any chance, in the Data Analysis tab, do you see Position "Unknown" for some players?
I ask, because I updated the view in FM26 yesterday. The old "Player Database" view, used the column "Best Position", instead of "Position", so it wasn't converted correctly.
If so, you can either redownload the view from the page, or manually right-click & replace the column "Melhor Pos" with "Informações Gerais" -> "Posição" Expand
I'm using the new view (Fm 26), but nothing has changed. The positions appear normally in the data lab, but only six players are shown in the tactics setup. I also tried adding them manually, but there's no option.
ZaZ said: No, I use automatic training intensity to ensure players rest after they participate in matches, and do double training when condition is full. It appears normal because FM26 UI is awful. You can try to change it to automatic yourself there, and you will see it will return to normal on its own. I just avoid touching individual player intensity.
What I do is to set just Rebalance during early years, which means one physical session per week. That ensures they increase Pace and Acceleration without compromising their potential attributes.
I will see what I can do about it.
P.S.: I added two player filters to the initial post, one more generic to be used in the initial steps of scouting (or in lower leagues), and one to find more elite players. Expand
That part is specifically for attributes, but you also need to check things like transfer cost and wages, hidden attributes like professionalism, dirtiness and injury proneness (usually you can get an idea in the report card), and you can also try to guesstimate their PA based on age, growth and staff opinions. Expand
@ZaZ It's now possible to save player search filters. Could you create a filter for us? Position by position? If so, that would be a great help!
ZaZ said: I don't understand chinese, and I am just answering his question. I understand that there are people more qualified than me to answer, but I wanted to tell what I would do in the same situation.
What I took from the tables is that from values 1-6, the attributes that make the most difference are, in order, Work Rate, Pace, Acceleration, Agility and Concentration (with Stamina shortly after). Therefore, I never hire a player with less than 6 in those attributes.
From values 6-10, only Pace and Acceleration remain relevant from those attributes, and from 10-18, Jumping Reach starts shining together with Pace and Acceleration.
Since he says he plays with weaker teams and limited money, I pointed out the attributes I would focus to grab the best value for the money. I will edit the post to make clear that I mean at least 6 in those secondary attributes, and include Stamina among them. Expand
And how do you decide which player to sign? How do you differentiate by position? Or do you just apply that filter you mentioned, choose the position, and sign the first player that appears?
ZaZ said: As long as you use each for half the season, it is fine. You can use one month each, or alternate every week. You can see an example below. Expand
ZaZ said: I usually pick the one I think is the best for each position. You can use the squad planner feature to know exactly which options you have for each position, like who is the first option, second and third. Expand
Four subs in halftime? Why that?

If you need the CSV: https://www.transfernow.net/dl/20260408bH6PQIYV
The program loads only some positions in the tactics section (team builder) and leaves others blank, even though all players have been loaded.
There is a discussion about training with people much more qualified than me to talk about it.

YOU ARE THE CHOOSEN ONE!!! hahaha tks!
Yeah, AMC goes down first.

tks
Its possible to give a example with wed-sat calendar?
@A Smile wich positions do you think are the key for this tactic?
Tks and congrats!
But, what do you look for each position?
