ZaZ
Using a more standard OOP formation, to have a reference for comparison with other versions.



Updated first post with a link to a more defensive version, to be used when you want to hold a score.

Jstax said: Player instructions?

All: Tackle Harder
BCB: Pass Shorter, Trigger Press Less Often
DM: Pass Shorter, Trigger Press More Often
AWB: Sit Narrower, Cross From Byline and Shoot Less Often, Trigger Press More Often
IF: Stay Wider
CHF: Make Less Runs
Goalkeeper dribbling more. The goal is to give time for defenders to get better positioned before receiving passes.



Balanced mentality.



pokalyuk said: Thanks for the answer! Do you change your tactics depending on the team? For example, if you play for Arsenal or Bolton in the Premier League, is your tactics the same?

It depends a lot. The better the team, the more likely it is to fit any tactic, since the squad is deeper. In my case, my standard is Autumn (because it has the highest win rate), but I usually play different tactics to see how they play on the field and see what can be improved. I like to experiment three or four different formations in different games instead of sticking to a single one.
Jdjdjsks said: Do you have a tactic to counter this one ?

I made this as a counter, but did not have time to test extensively yet to see if it actually counters it.

pokalyuk said: I've never seen this question before: what tactics do you prefer to play? For example, what's your main tactic, what's your main tactic for maintaining a lead, and what do you use when you need to make a comeback? I'm also curious, or do you use different ones for top teams and underdogs? I'd appreciate an answer, I'm curious to know)

Currently I use:
- Autumn 3.46 in normal conditions.
- Autumn 3.40 when winning by 1+ goals against stronger teams.
- Autumn 3.40 Light when match is won and I want to rest players and avoid cards.

For testing purposes, I also play Winter 3.07 to see it in practice and how it can be improved.
Trying a more defensive version for Autumn 3.39 ST.



mkc777 said: So the only thing that is different is the tactics not the set pieces.Did i get it right?
Yes, that is right.

Piotting said: +1 if someone can repost it here, seems not available on there.
You probably need to be logged there to be able to download.
mkc777 said: Can we have the ARSENAL 21 set pieces downloaded from here as yours as well cause it says unavailable?Also last question,Set pieces in 3.08,3.46 and 3.12 are different?

FM-Arena do not use set pieces in testing. The one I put in the first page is the same.

About the set pieces from Gerrard, you can probably ask him to add to the thread I linked above, with his other set pieces.
Testing with attacking mentality to see if I can increase the win rate of this tactic.



This is the link of ARSENAL21 for anyone interested.
mkc777 said: Yours are better!But i wonder if there any difference in set pieces in ZaZ 3.08 and 3.46?I mean cause the tactics are different maybe the set pieces developing different?

There might be some difference in how the tactic reacts after the set pieces, but that is extremely difficult to measure.
Chatin said: @ZaZ Is there any training for semi-professional teams?

You can probably use Rebalance 1 and Growth 2, they fit in the four sessions available for semi-professional teams. Keep in mind you can probably buy an entire squad of better free players when you get promoted, so the benefit of training in lower divisions might be questionable, considering the poor facilities and staff.
pokalyuk said: Dude, thank you! You're doing some really useful stuff. I love your tactics and use only them. Would you be interested in trying something similar for the ZaZ Autumn 3.39 ST? Version of the tactic to minimize goals conceded? I'd be very grateful, as would many others, I'm sure!

I will work on it and put to test on the next few days, right after I finish checking the most effective Light version (then I also test it for Autumn ST).
mkc777 said: Is there any difference in set pieces?

The set pieces are the same, but keep in mind they were developed during Beta. That means you can probably find better set pieces from other people, like @Gerrard. He is often considered one of the best at making FM tactics (if not the best), and it is probably a good idea to check his set pieces too.

I am adding a link below with his set pieces, and tagging him so he can correct me if he updated to some newer and better set pieces.

Checking the impact of SS Moving Into Channels on the defensive version of Autumn.



Balanced mentality to check the trade off between points and goals conceded.
