Result is decent but I’m surprised it didn’t do better than this. Thanks for testing.

Where are team a/b expected to finish in this league? Or what is there Current ability average?
Tested with Chelsea and Newcastle. Chelsea won the league with 102 points, and Newcastle finished 3rd.

Both teams reached the FA cup final to face each other!

Strikers for both teams finished 1st and 2nd for league goals, with Lukaku smashing the PL record, getting 56 goals in 37 league games. Lukaku average 8.11 in the league, and 8.36 in all comps.

Both teams top XG for, and near the top for XG against.

Wingers hold position out wide, and mezzalas/IWBs create overloads in the halfspaces. 1 mezz + 1 IWB in each half space seems impossible to defend.
Is this test league available for download?
ZaZ said: Blue 4.0 wasn't tested in 22.2, only the earlier versions.

Understood. I saw this had 65 points, higher than all other of your variations from the 22.2.0 table
Interesting it seems to be stronger now in 22.3
I've created loads of tactics in FM and I've started testing them in a CA165 test league as well, but so far nothing I've made has come close to one of my first tactics, "Levante v2". Originally made for Levante with Campana as DLP(D) and Bardhi as AM(A) and this finished 3rd place in the first season of my La Liga save, and then 2nd place in the following season.

Points per game in away fixtures only marginally below home points per game, 0.15 points per game lower after 160 game simulated. This is incredible and I credit this to the more defensive CM pairing, BWM(s) & DLP(d).

----IF(A) - AM(A) - IF(s)
-------BWM(s) DLP(D)
-WB(S) CD(D) BPD(D) WB(A)
-----------------SK(s)

Works best when you have IFs with good dribbling, ST with good off the ball and pace (plenty of through balls), fast CBs for high line, and a DLP who actually has good positioning and tackling. BWM will be running everywhere so important the DLP is defensively positioned well, otherwise the midfield is missing.

Shown in the levante image is 2x BPD, which is possible if you have two CBs good enough. If one is far better than the other at passing, first touch etc, then choose one as BPD and the other as CD only, as in the tactic file; its not a big disadvantage at all.
