DW have always been good. Last year, DW had the same performance as W, so I decided to go with W because there are way more AML/R players than ML/R, so it was easier to find quality players.
Not much between Earth and Fire. Wind not so good. Expand
Thank you for testing! I couldn't make the 4123 shape work well yet, even though some other people got good results with that shape. I hope those versions are at least a good foundation to work on.

Jet2 said: So basically you kept your formation from all zazs whatever and used another author's tips. (example Frisk, it's XMAS_twkd3). Nice touch by the way especially with the mentality in the balance! I think you should update your front page and give proper credit and not say that you delayed your releases because you conducted tests. You waited ... you saw... and you copied... My opinion but I will flag it properly if you don't change it. By the way you mention a lot to ZAZ Blue. Its Phoenix tactic. Good luck with the rest "tests" Expand
Keep in mind that several instructions were tested by this page (https://fm-arena.com/board/10-tactical-instructions-testing/), and that I am allowed to use other people's results to guide my tests, just like everyone else in the page does. If there is any tactic posted here (or anywhere else) that is too close to any of my tactics, I will gladly credit it in the first post.
Jet2 said: Hi zaz! looking forward to test it. Few days ago you said "I give up on one DM for this tactic, I just can't make it work in this patch. I am going to start testing it with two DMs instead." What makes you change your mind? The latest score I guess... Expand
I was testing four different tactics at the same time, with four teams, because I couldn't accept that the only way was with that 424 shape. The new version of Water will be posted today or tomorrow, as well as Earth and Wind.
P.S.: I said that out of anger, but I kept testing anyway.
I tested it sometime ago with DLP-De and DW-Su, to try and fix the defense problem of Fire, but it didn't go very well. Maybe I will try it on Balanced like you did and see if it goes well.
dzek said: Hi @ZaZ, try to set your WB to Support duty and change the mentality to Positive. I think this will be a more stable and more suitted. Keep up with the good work! Expand
Thank you for the suggestion. I am now working on Fire 2.0. trying to get different shapes because the 424 has too many variants. Even just the shape with almost no instructions is enough to get 55 points here, which makes me think it is probably the best shape from this version.

One per week if your squad is small, two per week if it's large, and something between if you have a medium sized squad. I often alternate teams during pre-season.
BadA said: While we're talking about U18 teams...I would like to get everyone's insight on whether to bring up a player who is under 18 to play with the first team. I have a 16-year-old that's good enough, but I worry that all the matches will reduce his training time which I understand is the most important part of development until 18. Thoughts? Expand
I would bring him up. It's not like he stops training completely, and playing time still gives some development. I would bring him up because it's nice to bond with players, and that will also create a bond with the supporters.
Jeffdekker said: Look knaps tactics up, you can see it for yourself.
Also, I wanna quote something you said yourself, in my thread:
Look, the discussion of plagiarism is nice and all, but it's not the type of matter that should be solved by fighting and making the issue public. My suggestion to handle those situations is to first contact the person with DM to make sure they know there is a similar tactic, and only if the issue is not solved people should bring it to the admins through the proper thread that was created. There is absolutely no need to bring issues to the admins if they can be solved with a simple DM to the user, which anyone can do.
Why are you going public now and not DM'ing the so called "Creator" yourself?
Say something and do another right? Expand
This area was created after your case, and it's the proper channel for this kind of post according to admins. I am just following the instructions set by the page.
Also, I'm not going to check tactics from Knap, I already presented one that has 99% of similarity and was published before Corsair IF.
It's in the first post.

I didn't upload yet, I will try to post soon.
Sane said: @ZaZ, your up tactics looks amazing, great job!
But I don't understand why light version has a higher def line and counter-press? Is it the best defense, but less good in attack?
That's from Fire 1.0. I will add the new version today.
I like fire more.
Please, report in the proper place (https://fm-arena.com/board/9-fair-play-commission/) and provide details about how my tactic is a copy of some other.

About Phoenix, it's very easy to check that Blue was posted before Phoenix.

Thanks! I hope it is at least a good foundation for Fire 3.0 later. In both FM21 and FM22, my initial tactics weren't that great in the first patches.

There isn't any significative difference.

Pace and Acceleration for everyone. I didn't have time to test attributes individually yet.
