Cleaned up TI as per latest 'meta' from everyone's great work here. Wanted to test out whether a wider or narrower formation on the 5-2-3 works better.
Zippo said: 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 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 Expand
Well that explains why PSG / Real Madrid has a really high chance of winning the Champions League on holiday !
That's some cool findings ! @Zippo would it be possible to do a similar test without plugging in tactics ? and see how far you need to improve the team stats to win the league ?
Edit : Or maybe test using a similar 4-2-4 tactic that scored 58,56,54 on the testing table to see how much we need to upgrade players to be champions
Appreciate your help to test this new tactic 'TheWorld_4-2-3-1' Idea for it is for one of the SV to have 'Get Further Forward' to support the attacking gap.
Test Run #1
Test Run #2

TEST #1 /w Liverpool
TEST #2 /w Liverpool
TEST #3 /w ManCity
Done, Thank you !
Tried doing :
1) Similar tactic but 2*IF > 2*AF - somehow just did worse (possibly RNG)
2) 1*DM(Def) + 2*CM(Att), which yielded wildly inconsistent results
Edit : Or maybe test using a similar 4-2-4 tactic that scored 58,56,54 on the testing table to see how much we need to upgrade players to be champions
@Delicious have you tested 2*CM instead of 2*DM in a 4-2-3-1 ?

Thank you as usual !
