The date might also be the trigger to change mental attributes of the group, followed later by the message "Someone has been negatively affected by the group".

I keep doing because I believe it slows down the loss of speed, but I never tested it.

It's little things, like pressing etc, but do you think if i insert the autumn tactic and just move up the AMC to striker CHF and less runs it would be better ??
Or the striker change the dinamics of everything? Expand
I will submit it for testing tomorrow and see how it goes.
@ZaZ thanks for the tactic, I'd love to know your preference on this question Expand
Fast striker.

It is a combination of watching matches to see where spaces are being worked well and where they can be improved, running holiday seasons to collect statistics, and luck to explore in the right direction. FM-Arena tests also help to see what is working and not working for other people, which is valuable insight.
I think we have to value the effort of everyone uploading tactics here. Each of them contributed a bit to improve their tactics and that helped everyone to improve theirs. I do not think it is possible to say which author had the most relevant breakthroughs in tactics of FM26, or who is the best tactician. Tomorrow someone might find a final improvement and enter the Hall of Fame, who knows. Personally, I ran out of creativity and energy to test, so I am taking a break, possibly until FM27, which will probably be released in November.

There are different views for the player, like Overview, Personal, Performance, and Career. You can see the position proficiency in Overview.
treath said: Zaz, correct me if i'm wrong but the only difference your tactic have with Brembov31 is the CHM don't roam in his tactic.
The rest of it all instructions are literally the same. And despite the points be higher the Xg are lower, so i guess it's more to the randomic than to the quality of instructions. Expand
I did not check his tactic, so I am not sure. I am actually a bit out of energy for testing, so I am recharging batteries for FM27.

VibinLow said: sorry to come back to this post. Do the files only apply to this tactic.Also can you explain how to use general training again please. Expand
With general training, you just use the same schedule during the whole season. There are two files, one for one match per week, another for two matches per week. If a week has no training, you create a friendly. If there are three matches in the week, then do not bother with training. Also, keep in mind those schedules assume double intensity, and no training after matches to activate super rest.
Yarema said: If they fix most of what is annoying in the new UI it'll already be a huge step in the right direction.
Like sorting out training needing less than 15 clicks, bringing back the ability to "drag and drop" sessions in the schedule, swap them easily and so on. In the long run training needs a major overhaul but FM27 is probably a bit early for that.
Another very annoying thing is squad selection. Due to out of possession tactics introductions the star ratings are all over the place and a lot of times youth players are not showing in dropdown menu. Make it easy to select a player based on assistant's opinion without having to be so careful which screen you are on (stars vary wildly), who is in senior team and so on. It should be way more intuitive than it currently is.
Bring back attribute progression charts and especially numbers. "This guy gained 5 pace since he joined the club", or in last 3 seasons or whatever. Like how hard can it be, it was working fine in FM24 and before. It's a major mood killer for anyone who enjoys developing players.
Descriptive staff attributes are terrible, was way easier when it was numbers. And especially since the rest of the game is all numbers anyway, in fact so are these attributes they've just hidden them behind words.
Could go on and on with this
Actual new suggestion: Something I would like to see is being able to tell reserve and youth team managers (and maybe your assistant for when you holiday/friendlies) who and in what position to play the players. For example a squad planner that you could set priority list at a position that the manager would actually follow, maybe even a slider how often to rotate like we have in set piece routines. Most of these teams already play the same tactic, I think it would make sense to be able to tell U19 manager "I see this guy as our future right back, can you try to make sure he gets experience and proficiency in that position" (considering how strict FM is with players being able to play a position or not).

If your team is doing better at holiday mode than when you manage it, then you can still improve in some areas. Do you keep players with high match sharpness during the season? Do you keep them in high condition (90%+) before matches? Are you getting an acceptable number of injuries? Are you subbing out players with weak performance, tired, injured and yellowed (or setting to ease off tackles to avoid reds)? Are you keeping player morale high by praising / criticizing their training weekly, their performance after every match, and their form every 5 matches? Are you using team talk and sideline shouts with good results during the matches? Are you building a squad with your best players for each position, and cutting the deadwood with too low pace and acceleration?
What I mean is, there are many things you can do to improve your performance during a season, so check where you can improve and focus on learning one thing at a time. Forget about winning, and think only about enjoying the game, slowly climbing up your performance by learning those things I talked above.
Pumpkinner said: Players are not very familiar with their position. But when i'm running a season in holiday mode it looks better. So i dont know what to do because i don't want to run my game in holiday mode ^^ Expand
Using players with ability in the position is very important. Do not worry with the star rates, what matters is the green circle for their position. Players without ability in a position will perform much worse.
Pumpkinner said: in the small team it's around 10-12, but with France yes almost everyone has more than 14 in these stats. And with the big teams it was around 13 or 14 Expand
It should work more often than not. Are your players proficient in their position (green circle)? Try running a season in holiday mode to see if it gets the same results. There are too many factors that affect the game, so it is hard to say anything without knowing.
Thank you for the feedback!
Those are training schedules.
Stuff that matches or enhances their team and player instructions. For goal scorers, I just make them learn the same as Haaland.

No, it is not important. Only in possession is relevant for performance, as tested by FM-Arena.
