dudupig said: Well done!!! When playing away against teams like Manchester City or Liverpool, should I adjust my mentality from attacking to balanced? Expand It should do well even against those teams, but if you want to avoid conceding goals, go Balanced.

Just some micro-optimization to Winter 0.2. Player instructions are: - Tackle Harder all - Make More Runs for CMs, Ws, and CHFs.
Below is the light version to use when a match is under control, with the goal of avoiding cards and saving energy. My personal match plan is: - Normal condition: Winter 0.26 - Winning by 2 goals, or trying to avoid conceding: Balanced mentality - Winning by 3+ goals: Winter Light
Is it possible to create a filter based on the positions in the tactic and the types of players we should be signing? Or should we just stick to the standard approach in Football Manager — tall, fast players with good jumping reach? Expand
Not sure if height makes much of a difference, I remember someone made a study about that and it wasn't very relevant. Pace, Acceleration and Jumping Reach sound like good attributes for a filter, especially if you are using my set pieces.
Kaczy said: @ZaZ As a promiss table after 1st PL seson. I did not won only cause i didnt want to i was rotating team and if i would play only first team - i was not playing in Europe and knocked early in FA and Carabao - i would 100% won it but i have 2 more weeks of playing till 0.4 in POE2 so for ma slowing a bit is even better and more realistic.Prediction - i was last with 2,100,000 chance of winning - Liverpool as winner 2,88. I think it is one of best tactic i used in 30+ years of playing this game. I love such game style like Amorin. Great job again Zaz. Expand
max 737 said: @ZaZ Many congratulations once again for getting the top tactic, just had a question do you apply any AM advice in the dugout events during the match? Expand
zaidan said: sorry quick question. if my right winger is left footed and my left winger is right footed with their roles being wingers does it affect the success rate of the tactic or does it not matter? Expand
Ralle said: I can’t upload any of your tactics at all right now. Could you save them again in your current game so the ME is updated? Maybe change their names as well — I know that has worked before — so I can finish testing them.
I’ve been playing around with one of your older tactics myself, and I’ve noticed that your base settings really help lay the foundation for creating new tactics. I’ve actually developed a 3-5-2 that works super well — I finished 4th with Sunderland in the first season.
I tried sending you a PM, but you don’t have any more space to receive messages
hakatory said: First of all, thank you for the great strategy.
Regarding this tactic, I would like to change 3 strikers to attacking midfielders. Is there a role you would recommend for the 3 attacking midfielders?
What do you think about the opinion that a tactic without a striker is better for this series? Expand
I tried something like that before, but results where unfortunately worse. If you still want to try it, check Summer 0.2, it has CHM (AM) / TWM. Another role you can try is CHM (AM) / CM.
Kaczy said: @ZaZ Ok i know you are great tactic creator mate but this year i think you beat engine 2 weeks after release It is my first seson in PL. I am used to get promotion every year from low leagues up to highest one but i never had such good 1st year in PL. Probably i will win PL when team will reach higher cohesion. My players are L1-CH lvl , 3-4 of them low PL lvl and i have one wonderkid but he is playing like shiet. Results after 10 PL games - i lost with MU in CUP couse i was playing B team. Most terryfing that those bunch of noname players are completly dominating other teams. AI do not know how to play against such hudge intensivity and attacking football. Games are totally one sided ofc beside Brighton. All of them it is total dominance check 3-3 against MU. I am also using your set pieces and acctually i score more goals in this seson from set pieces then in 6 sesons while i was climbing to PL and i was always winning league. Great work once again. Expand
iamkurtgoz said: I win big matches with a single goal. At least I don't lose 1-0 with a single shot. I don't know if this is due to the tactic or the ME update. Expand
Glad it is working well. Are you using the set pieces too?
max 737 said: Using Zaz's set pieces my defender scored a very important goal from a indirect free kick in quarter final of the Champions League Expand
Gratz! I was considering only the League. If we put together all competitions, then goals from set pieces get even higher. I would estimate them to be around ~20% of total goals of the season.
Open the tactic inside the game, save again with shorter name, then you will be able to do it.
More Direct passing directness, and Much Lower defensive line.
Yes, exactly that.

Thank you, and have fun with PoE2!
Personally I see little difference, so I only use player footing to break ties if players are equally skilled for the position. However, keep in mind someone made a study with player footing for FM24 and said there was a noticeable difference for Winger. There is no evidence that it applies to FM26, but you can read about it in the link below.

No, I ignore everything he says.

Thanks! It will hardly last more than a day, but at least it shows the direction is good. Makes me more excited to work in Winter 0.3.
Need to create a specific thread for them to test here. It doesn't make sense for me to test, since FM-Arena usually has much more accuracy.

I tested with my four tactics, and all got a noticeable boost in average points and goal difference. I can only assume it works for any tactic.
Gratz! I was considering only the League. If we put together all competitions, then goals from set pieces get even higher. I would estimate them to be around ~20% of total goals of the season.
The reupload is below. I also changed mentality from Winter Light to Balanced, and reuploaded it in the first post.
