CBP87 said: No worries, when you added +3 to these attributes, Acceleration, Agility, Pace, Anticipating, Concentration, Work Rate and Dribbling. What was the lowest attribute value set at?
I'm just trying to work out if say the value of 12 in each of those attributes would be enough. I am looking to adapt my attribute filters to those attributes but Im looking to see what values will be needed Expand
The starting attributes were the default attributes as Bournemouth players have them at the start of the game.
Also note, in FM-Arena testing the difference between "Poatan 451" tactic and "424 Alhamdulillah II 0.8" tactic is "18" points.
But in this test:
In the Round #1 the difference between tactics is "14" points.
In the Round #2 the difference between tactics is "9" points.
In the Round #3 the difference between tactics is "7" points.
The above result means that the stronger/weaker your team comparing with your opponents, the smaller role the tactic plays.
So testing tactics with a team that is much stronger or weaker than other teams in league isn't a good idea because such testing would be very ineffective.
Also, the result of this test shows that if you build a "Dream Team" with players like Mbappe, Messi, Neymar and similar best players then the quality of your tactic would become kinda irrelevant

Jamal Lowe was given Natural rating for CM position so it was possible to test both tactics with the same players.
There wasn't any player rotation. The same starting eleven were used to play all matches. The morale and conditions of the players were locked at 100%, which also was done for the AI teams.
The testing conditions were the same for both tests.

I'm sure many of you, just like me, have wondered whether it's possible to win English Premier League managing one of the weakest team in the league or how long would it take to achieve that.
So I've done a test to find out it. I picked Bournemouth, one of the weakest team in the league that was predicted to finish 20th.
The 7 important attributes chosen for the increasing were: Acceleration, Agility, Pace, Anticipating, Concentration, Work Rate and Dribbling.
ROUND #1: Default Attributes In the table below the results have been translated into 38 matches Average CA = 122
ROUND #2: +2 Points to Acceleration, Agility, Pace, Anticipating, Concentration, Work Rate and Dribbling In the table below the results have been translated into 38 matches Average CA = 142
ROUND #3: +3 Points to Acceleration, Agility, Pace, Anticipating, Concentration, Work Rate and Dribbling In the table below the results have been translated into 38 matches Average CA = 149
As you can see winning EPL with the default Bournemouth team is a quite difficult task because the team gets only about 64 points on average per season when Man City and Liverpool get 85-90 points on average per season. I'd say winning the EPL with the default Bournemouth team is still possible but you need to be very lucky to do that, I mean your team must have the best season, far better than its average season and Man City and Liverpool must have the worst season, much worse than their average season.
When the Acceleration, Agility, Pace, Anticipating, Concentration, Work Rate and Dribbling attributes of the players get 2 points increase then the team start getting about 85-87 points on average per season so wining EPL becomes a much easier task but still winning EPL isn't assured because if you have your worst season and Man City and Liverpool have their best season then highly likely they win the league.
Finally, when the Acceleration, Agility, Pace, Anticipating, Concentration, Work Rate and Dribbling attributes of the players get 3 points increase then the team starts getting 92-95 points on average per season, which further increases the chances of winning the EPL, it becomes almost assured.
I just wanted to demonstrate you how the game works, as you can see it isn't only about having the best tactic but also about having the best players. You can spend months on improving your tactic to improve the result by 1 point or you can increase 7 attributes of the players by 3 points and that would improve the result by about 30 points from 64 points to 94 points.
Also, look at the CA of the players in the Round 3, it's only about 150CA, which means it's still possible to get much better players with 160CA-180CA and further greatly improve the result but also, note that to have a solid chances of winning EPL it requires having at least 150CA players.

No, there're other reasons for that decision.
Yes, tactic are being added manually in the queue but don't worry we make sure that all uploaded tactics are reviewed and If some your tactics weren't picked for the testing then there was only one reason for that, they didn't meet the requirements - https://fm-arena.com/thread/2733-how-fm-arena-picks-tactics-for-the-testing/
It's a known fact that many people play the game or test tactics using "Go On Vacation/Holiday" approach but the full game version isn't supposed to be played like that, I'll explain what I mean.
From time to time players come to you with various concerns and issues, it looks like this:
They also get "Concerned" status in their "Player Status"
If you don't talk to players within few days after they became "Concerned" then they automatically turn "Unhappy", which means they are mad at you and might not talk to you for few weeks or months, all that time their Morale will be very poor:
Usually, many other players in the team start to support "Unhappy" players and also get a poor Morale.
IMPORTANT: If you think that your assistant manager handles the issues with players when you go on "Holiday/Vacation" then you're wrong because he doesn't do that ( the game doesn't have such mechanics ).
Also, it's important to understand that when you go on Holiday/Vacation then your assistant manager handles these important things:
- Assistant Manager does the team talks - Assistant Manager picks players for the starting eleven - Assistant Manager rotates the team - Assistant Manager does substitutions
And if your assistant manager has poor attributes for handling these important things then the result will be much worse than they could be.
That's why it's very important to "Freeze" the morale and conditions with FMRTE when you test tactics.
Also, it's important to understand that playing/testing on "Holiday/Vacation" might produce much worse result than playing the game in normal way.
ZaZ said: I just wonder if it's better to have neutral WB and IF, or if they are better both wide to stretch the field away from midfield (in a context without overlap team instruction). Expand If you look at the result of this test - https://fm-arena.com/thread/2899-width/
then you'll see that there's almost no difference between the minimal value and the maximal value of the width setting.
Of course, for a different formation with different roles, duties, TIs the result might be different but I don't think there'll be much difference.
Anyway, if someone's gonna test different combinations of the Width setting for the wingers and fullback then obviously, it must be done without the "Overlap" TI because it might override the width settings of the wingers and fullbacks.
ZaZ said: Well, I changed only two things in my updated Water, and the decrease in quality was noticeable (still in the limit of RNG, but still a big decrease). Since I don't think the cause was shorter passing, I assume it's the narrow for WB. The only changes were those two. Expand

The starting attributes were the default attributes as Bournemouth players have them at the start of the game.
In terms of the starting XI for Bournemouth for CA 149, do you know what the lowest attribute was at?
Could you elaborate? I don't understand your question.

In the Round #1 the difference between tactics is "14" points.
In the Round #2 the difference between tactics is "9" points.
In the Round #3 the difference between tactics is "7" points.

Using one spoiler per tactic & just renaming the thread (Example Delicious Tactic Collection) or something seems way more efficient.
I understand the frustration, it wasn't an easy decision but we have reasons for it.
I hope you understand.
I just want to let you know that from this moment only one tactic per thread is possible.
So don't be confused.
Also, don't worry the tactics that were uploaded under the old system will be tested as usual, of course, if they meet the requirements.
