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...

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.
Fire 2.0 updated. Apologies for taking so long, but I have been testing it in real matches to get hints on how to improve the defense.
crizeKOS said: @ZaZ you should test it on fm23!

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.
Good job!
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!

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.
kjordafen said: Hey Zaz! Do you know if having two CB with the same preferred foot are any disadvantage against having one left foot and one right foot? (Given that they have at least okay weak foot).

There isn't any significative difference.
MartinhoFM said: @ZaZ How many games do you recommend to play in preseason?

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?

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.
Sjel said: I no longer understand the attributes, now which ones do I have to focus on for defense, midfield or forwards?

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


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.
Jeffdekker said: Funny how both corsair IF and https://fm-base.co.uk/resources/game-breaker-tactic-433-1-2-holiday-all-season-no-transfers-amazing-update.7258/ are both rip offs from Knap.

Don't see you saying anything like that Zaz.


Just post the tactic and a proof of the release date (like a link to the post). I don't know Knap, and I can't check all tactics around.
Middleweight165 said: @ZaZ Sorry I'm hijacking this thread with an off topic question, I just wondered if you thought Blue 3.0 from FM21 was more overpowered then Blue 4.0 from last year? I think the testing was changed on this site between FM21 and FM22 so that may have effected it

I think Blue 3.0 from FM21 was stronger because it was very good attacking and defending. In FM22, Blue 4.0 was strong in attack, but not so good in defense.
Sane said: Do you think that PI's and TI's from Water 2.0 is the best combination at the moment?

The best is the one that gets the best results on tests.
Falbravv said: Struggle to have good results with this 2.0, hope it's just on my side :blush:

I am intentionally trying to avoid the 424 shape that is getting the best results, since so many tactics popped up in that shape already.
Water 2.0 is up.
abisteggg said: Can u avoid  ambition and professionalism dropping 5 points  at age of 18 or why it is happening ?decline is starting at the age of 17.  I have multiple regens on different teams  and some of them are dropping points. the squad personality is above balanced  and coaching staff have good personalities.

Personality usually shifts closer to the club's average, so if it's dropping that much Ambition and Professionalism, then your average is probably low.
Sane said: @ZaZ have something to share? Maybe noticed that it works better now?

Working on Fire 2.0 and Water 2.0.
luisanjao said: hey, i don't like to use genie scout because it shows the players CA and PA

is there be any filter or graph showing important attributes to hire cheap good players, looking inside the game ?


You can remove columns from Genie Scout, removing CA, PA, Rating and other things, and leaving only attributes. It's an option if all you want is to see attributes of all players in a list.
Exellent said: Hi @ZaZ. Can you share the rating for Genie Scout ?

I don't have any.
Enok said: @ZaZ which are the best i individual training for positions for my youth Team U18 GK,CB,RB LB,DM,CM,RW LW,ST Thanks

Until there are more tests about it, it's Quickness for everyone, and Reflexes for goalkeepers.
