I've been playing FM for many years and I've had a great success in every FM version, I mean I'm always capable of winning the most challenging leagues including the Champions league without all this nonsense. :cool:

For me picking players is quite easy. I just try to get players with highest CA possible and if I'm looking for attackers then I look on Acceleration, Pace and Dribbling and if I'm looking for central defenders then I look on Acceleration, Pace and Jumping Reach.

I can say this simple approach has been doing wonders for me for many years. :thup:


I know what You mean... I always played the same way its just i want to try that fancy toy Genie scout and see if it make any difference, its just for fun;)
What if i want to use 3 man midfield in flat line 2 AP and 1 RPM and genie scout shows rating for CM only and i have 3 BWM's showing 80% rating in CM spot and 2 AP and RPM showing only 78% in CM spot, should i still play 3 BWM'S?
Nevermind post above, i cracked this genie scout now i think;)
Mark said: To help those who are struggling to figure out how to save the default Ratings file and then load this one I have the following instructions with pictures:

Open your current FM save.

Download FM Genie Scout if you don't already have it. I recommend the g version which requires a small donation. I like to keep such helpful tools going.

Make sure you have downloaded my Ratings file called MDW22.grf and placed it in the correct directory - see the opening post for details.

Open Genie Scout and load your game into the tool.



Open up Edit Player Ratings.



A dialogue box will open up with the ratings information. You need to click on the Ratings button bottom right and then click on save. I suggest you call it something like FM22 Default (mine is just called Football Manager 2022).



Then load my rating file.



Now your Genie Scout should show ratings as per my calculations.


Hello Mark. Just yesterday i have downloaded GS and follow Your instructions from post above, im not very good at using this tools yet and i dont understand how to filter players im looking for, do i have to set atributes myself in it? It loading me players list with all positions even if i gave selected WBL for example. Im sure im doing something wrong here.
To end this war We people would have to remove our politics NOT only in Russia but also in Eourope, USA and Ukraine. NATO didnt do anything to help Ukraine( to get more info check 2+4 German unifocation talks in 1990 also check how NATO betrayed Ukraine in 1994 in Budapest) learn history! Check facts NOT only in social media or TV looks different sources as well.

Stop war everywhere Africa! Middle east Asia are less popular in TV, especialy wars in Arica but also bloody!
Will this get re tested? Best 3 at the back tactic
Zippo said: I just want to add that if you're going to handle the Shouts yourself then it's always more beneficial releasing Shouts to "Entire Team" instead of "Individuals" because it affects all the players at once.





"Fired up be the feedback" body language means that you released a proper shout that motivated your players.




If you're going to delegate the Shouts to your assistant manager then to do well he should have high "Motivating", "People Management", "Tactical Knowledge" and "Determination". Also, if these attributes are at a high level then he'll be very good in doing the Team Talks.


Thanks Man!
Zippo said: I can say that we've tested the Touchline Instructions and found that they are essential and give a huge advantage.

It requires releasing Touchline Instructions every 15-20 minutes during a match which can be quite annoying so if you don't want to be bothered with doing them then you can delegate them to your assistant manager.

Thanks i didnt see this thred before.
Which atributes should AM have to give touchline instructions Motivation? Tactical knowladge?
Zaz do You belive that shouts during matches are usefull at all? Do You using any Yourself?

elche test
Is there a picture of formation with players roles?
Bogeyman said: I really don't understand why people complicate things. Just look at this table - https://fm-arena.com/table/13-fm22-attributes-ratings/

It's quite simple to me. For all positions except central defender you should look for Acceleration, Pace, Dribbling, Anticipation, Stamina and for central defenders you should look Jumping Reach and Strength instead of Dribbling.


Im searching for those atributes for each position as per Zaz guide and have great succes acros all my saves, nice and simple.
Won league with Hoffenheim, great defence, wing backs and mezzalas have a lot of fun with it. Best tactic around.

Keep up good work
Ah thanks, didnt see that was cover already. Thanks for this i can see improvement in my results following Your work, despite im using other tactic.
Hi Zaz. How important are roles for you? For example You want to buy mezzala and you have this two optioms:

Player 1
BWM 4 stars
Mezzala 2.5 stars

Pace 15
Acc 15
Dribling 15
Antycypation 15

Player 2
Mezzala 4 stars
Pace 13
Acc 13
Dribling 13
Antycypation 13

What is more important in Your opinion? Role suitability or atributes?
