hoofball said: Is it possible to get good results with these tactical styles? All 'good tactics' have a short pass or press much more(In fact, most have both). I want to succeed with the tactics that the computer recognizes me in the tactical style mentioned above. Can I get help with this? Expand
Define what you mean when you say "good results" ?
If you bring in your team the best players in the game like Messi, Mbappe, Neymar, Haaland and so on then you can win any domestic league even using a very average tactic or even a poor tactic. In other words with such incredible team you can use any tactic.
But if you manage a weak team and you want to overachieve as high as possible then you need to use the most effective tactic in the game and obviously, "Route One, Wing Play, Direct CA, Catenaccio and Park the Bus" styles aren't the most effective styles in the game.
Blau said: If it helps at all in my experience the preferred foot of both the DW and IWB do not matter. However, I do think it is beneficial if the wingers are decent at tackling. Expand
If my memory serves me right then in fm-arena league wingers(DWs) have like "5" for "Tackling" so I really don't think that high "Tackling" is necessary.
If you play with the worst team in the league and you lose every match then the ratings of your players will be very low 4.0 - 5.0 ( across the positions )
If you play with the best team in the league and you win every match then the ratings of your players will be very high 8.0 - 9.0 ( across the positions )
If some positions in your tactic get lower ratings than other positions then you can do nothing about it because it works the way the devs tuned the ratings the positions.
Btw, the devs might tune the ratings from patch to patch.

Yes, the game has become more difficult than it was.
Now, the AI managers don't use 4-2-3-1 formation anymore, which was the weakest AI formation and now they use 4-2-3-1 ( 2 DMs ) instead.
Also, now the difference between good players and bad players is more obvious, which means that with Man City you probably should win the tile with any tactic.

P.s. I setup the rest and everything. Expand
The main purpose of the training is to direct the development of your players but it has a very small impact on the development rate. There're many other factors that have a much greater impact on the development rate than the training.
Which tactic has the best ball possession? Expand I don't know the reason why you are looking for a possession based tactic but I can't tell you that in FM a very high possession doesn't mean success. I've encountered many tactics that generates a very high possession but the same time they produce an abysmal result.

Is there anything i might miss? As i said, i'm using the Blue 4.0 Tactic and didn't really changed much (I'm using Light and Solid from time to time like your description said) but i struggle a lot (8 wins, 2 draw, 8 losses currently). Expand

If my memory serves me right then in fm-arena league wingers(DWs) have like "5" for "Tackling" so I really don't think that high "Tackling" is necessary.
May I ask... what would be the purpose of that? I really can't think any myself
The previous year the winter transfer patch come out 24 February so we're are like more than 1 month away from the next patch.
Usually, the end of February - early March is when the winter transfer patch comes out and it's rarely it has any significant M.E. changes.
No one, except the developers, knows when the next patch comes out, it might few weeks or few months.
Also, there might be no M.E. changes at all in the future patches.
It happened very often in the past that after December there weren't any M.E. changes or they were insignificant.
So the current M.E. might be the final M.E. for FM23.
Actually, I stopped playing FM because they removed FMT from PC.
That was their stupidest decision ever.
To answer your question at first you need to define what would be "good" result for you with underdog.
Any tactic with "46+" score in the testing allows overachieving with any type of team.
If you play with the worst team in the league and you lose every match then the ratings of your players will be very low 4.0 - 5.0 ( across the positions )
If you play with the best team in the league and you win every match then the ratings of your players will be very high 8.0 - 9.0 ( across the positions )
If some positions in your tactic get lower ratings than other positions then you can do nothing about it because it works the way the devs tuned the ratings the positions.
Btw, the devs might tune the ratings from patch to patch.

Heh, are you expecting a return of strikerless tactics in FM23?
