I haven't really played around much with training, but want to try to this save.
Am I right in thinking I use the growth schedules (either one or 2 games depending on games per week) at least 3x per month. And then use one of the Rebalance schedules for the 4th week. Then rinse and repeat for the season? Expand
Yeah, that is what I do. I am testing some simplified routines that might be more clear for people, and should be posting soon.

I have never considered that, and it is hard to say without any testing. It does make sense, though.
Openda in the middle because of his traits (he also has the lowest crossing). The other two do not matter much since they are pretty similar, so I would probably use Anthony in the right and Hugo in the left, but train each of them in the opposite side so they can switch position in case of injury, red card or anything like that.
ATM said: Hi, it seems that the tactical effect has been greatly weakened after version 26.3.2. In particular, the two wingers' scoring has dropped significantly, and they've almost become invisible. Are there any plans for adjustments later? thanks Expand
As far as I know, they did not change the match engine.
Milletian said: Hi Zaz, thanks for sharing this amazing tactic! I have a few questions about player selection:
1.Is the preferred foot important for each position in this setup?
2.In the back three, does the required player profile (style) for the central CB differ from the left and right CBs? If so, what type of players do you recommend for each specific spot?
3.If I'm working with a limited transfer budget, which position should I prioritize investing my money in to get the highest quality player?
Thanks in advance for your help!
P.S. I'm not fluent in English, so I used an AI translator. Please excuse any awkward phrasing! Expand
Thank you for the kind words. About your questions: 1. Honestly I do not see much difference, so I prefer to just use the strongest players in each position without caring about the feet. Some people claim it is better to have players with the same foot as their side, but I do not think anyone tested that in FM26 yet.
2. I recommend fast players (pace and acceleration) with good jumping reach. I usually prefer to have the fastest ones on the sides, because they advance more on the field and can return faster to their positions, or fight for a ball when they are out of position.
3. Personally I would focus on improving the weakest areas of your team, switching the slowest players by quicker ones. If you want to pick a few positions, I would prioritize the main goal scorers, which are the AM and IFs, then CHMs.

It is fine, but you should clean the training in the days right after the matches, to activate super-rest. You do that together with automatic rest, making only players in full condition train at (double intensity). When players have three sessions of rest in the same day, together with sending them home, they recover much more condition, which helps keep them in shape and avoid injuries.
P.S.: I will create a simplified training schedule since people are getting confused.
FlyingDuck said: @ZaZ Is there a trick or a setting that will make my striker score more goals in the tactics? Expand
Not really. This tactic is designed to spread goals as evenly as possible between all players, and it is also good to keep in mind strikers simply perform poorly in this match engine, which is why you see so many strikerless tactics on top of the table.

My question is why i stopped getting this mark in my recent tactics? Or there is a new change to how to get this mark Expand
It needs to be the best using that formation, considering mirror tactics too. You can search for the formation and see if something pops up with higher points than what you submitted.
I've tested your set piece 2.0 tactics on some League 1-2 English teams with success, as well as some world class teams with varying success.
It seems strong offensively especially with corners but I think defending corners could be improved. I've tried my best testing this with no luck at the moment. Will playing for set pieces ever be a strong instruction as a part of Autumn or any other top tactic? If set pieces can be improved much from here that is. Cheers. Expand
Thank you! I will focus on defending corner and see if it can be improved without affecting the win rate of the tactic.
FlyingDuck said: @ZaZ What can I do to increase my possession? In most games, I usually have between 30–35%. Expand
To increase your possession you have to either change to another tactic or have a team overwhelmingly superior to your opponents. Unfortunately, the best tactics will play on have low possession.
That being said, the only metrics that matter in football are goal difference for each match, and points per match in the league. If you score more than your opponent, you win the match, and if you get more points by the end of the season, you are the champion. Possession is just one of the many ways to achieve that, and it should never be the final objective.
It is fine if your personal preference is possession-based football, but unfortunately FM-Arena does not track possession when testing tactics.

CHMs roaming from position, and the goalkeeper changes from the first post.
I have never considered that, and it is hard to say without any testing. It does make sense, though.
You have to post in this area:
