Sometimes when I read some people's comments I get impression that they think if a tactic is on the top of the fm-arena testing league then it should get you on the top of any league with any team but that isn't how it works at all.
Here's my result with Tottenham using a tactic that has about 3.5 rating ( I don't want to reveal the tactic name ).
The team got 50 points and finished the 9th place.
And here's my result with Tottenham using a tactic that has about 5.5 rating ( I don't want to reveal the tactic name )
The team got 77 points and finished the 4th place.
As you can see I didn't win the league with a tactic from the top of the table but I did much better than with a 3.5 rating tactic.
I just want to say that the fm-arena tactics testing just compares tactics and it really doesn't say that with the top you should win titles for granted.
I really hope someone might find this explanation is useful.

Before the 1st match of the season the teams are ranked by their average CA take a picture of this and use it during the season to determine the strength of your opponents in the league

I don't remember when the last time a 3 defenders tactic worked well in FM. They always have been very leaky and it looks like this year isn't an exception

There're many other people do the same. They review tactics and try to promote their youtube or discord channels. It's been a part of FM ecosystem for long time already. They put efforts in their videos so I think it's fair they expect to get some credits for doing that. If you like their reviews then you follow them and if you aren't then you don't, it's as simple as that and I think everyone are completely ok with that.

In FM-Base testing the assistant manager picks the team. Your ZaZ - Blue uses Defensive Wingers and the assistant manager picks slow wingers with high defensive skills for these roles so your tactics is tested with slow wingers with high defensive skills and Phoenix tactic is tested with regular wingers. Something like that can't happen in FM-Arena testing and that's why it's my favorite testing.

I keep seeing in other threads that you guys refer to this link: https://fm-arena.com/table/9-important-attributes/ to understand which attributes are more important in each role, but all that i see in that page is an tactic "Phoenix v3.0" with different results... I mean, where can I see what is important for an DM, for example.. Expand
Hey,
That table gives a good hint what attributes make a real difference in FM21 no matter what tactic you use.
If you look at the table then obviously, Acceleration, Pace and Agility attributes look like the most important attributes for every role then follow Dribbling, Vision and Balance.
So for DM I would look for Acceleration, Pace, Agility, Dribbling, Vision and Balance attributes.
Only for central defenders you don't need to look for Dribbling and Vision.

I agree, the attributes testing is awesome thing

I think all attributes have been tested, maybe expect few unimportant attributes.
Middleweight165 said: Why is it 9 important attributes when 24 have been tested?
Usually people mention only those attributes that make the most difference.
In general, all attributes somehow important but there're 8-9 attributes that makes the most difference.
What do you mean?

Yes, you are right.

It looks like AFs work better than PFs
Are you going to update this for the 21.4 patch?
Thanks.
for me this is the best two strikers tactic at the moment
