For me, you are trying to measure two separate things with one score and rather than giving a clear picture is confuses both measurements.

I would have two scores for each role, average score in top 20 and number of times used in top 20. Just by way of example, and it is a hypothetical scenario, if the top 8 tactics all used BPD and the next 12 used CD, your calculation would have CD with a higher score. BPD would have a higher average and most people would think it would be a better option in the scenario I have suggested as it is used nearly as many times and would be apparent from having the two scores.


Point taken. Appreciate your feedback :)
Mark said: Surely it should be average not total points

Thanks for the advice. If average it won't be able to measure how frequent a role is used? For example,

Tactic No.1 AF 100 pts
Tactic No.2 F9 90 pts
Tactic No.3 F9 80 pts
Tactic No.4 F9 70 pts
Tactic No.5 F9 60 pts

Using average, AF will be 100/1 = 100 pts and F9 will be 90+80+70+60/4 = 75 pts.
Using total, AF will be 100 pts and F9 will be 300 pts which indicated F9 were used more frequently in the top tactics.
ZaZ said: This ranking is pretty pointless since several tactics are tweaks of each other. For example, a tactic with CD is at the top, yet BPD is by far the best role for defenders according to the list.

Several tactics are tweaks of each other but there are of different formation with different roles. For example the original ZaZ Blue DM has DW and SS but Blue DM ( Double Tweaked ) has CM-AT, W-SU and F9.

It's a measurement of how frequent a role is used in top 20 tactics and how much points the role gets. For example, if the top one tactic uses CD but the remaining 19 tactics uses BPD the BPD will rank higher.
We added a ranking of player roles based on our testing. Might give you some ideas on which roles are more effective to create a top tactic :)

Incredible, this tactic is number one in our ranking too. Leading by quite a margin :thup:

Any result screenshot will do as long as it's played with your submitted tactic.
Hi guys, inspired by fm-arena we are having a new tactic testing league/ranking on our new fm fan site. Our test is different from fm-arena and so it provides different perspective and values.

We have already tested some top tactics from various sources to get the ball rolling.

Here's the link to our test table,

You can submit your tactic for testing here,

Any comments or suggestions are welcome :)
