deegenom said: Hey @ZaZ , can you just explain me one thing please? If Green 5.0 is alternative for solid blue 4.0, why is green 5.0 positive mentality (same like main tactic blue 4.0) and not Cautious like solid blue 4.0? What would then be alternative for Blue 4.0 (from green perspective)? Expand
Solid Blue sacrifices performance (win rate) to become more solid in defense. Green, on the other hand, is naturally good in defense, and has around the same performance as Blue.

I just watched after reading your message. His results are very similar to mine, so there is nothing to change in my training schedule right now. Keep in mind that players taking longer time to recover with training doesn't make a difference since I recommend setting players to "no pitch or gym work".

Any tactic from the table with score above 60 will overachieve, so you can pick any that suits your preference in play style. Personally, I like Blue 4.0 and Green 5.0, and they work very well even with the weakest teams.
Rhumble said: I've not used it before, how do I put players on automatic rest when they drop below a certain point ? I've had a look I know there is auto intensity but that doesn't put players on rest , trouble with FM is the layout changes and it becomes difficult to find things. Expand
Flourix said: Hey ZaZ! Nice to see some updates to the new Green versions and training schedules. Had some problems with very red numbers on training for majority of players in the underdogs and lower leagues.
Been running the Green and Light green before with your instructions from FM Base, where you said that Green is more stable with underdogs or if you just don't want to sacrifice/risk as much to see many goals as a top team. Does this still apply for the new green versions? I mean can I start with New green always and change to light when in big lead, and only use Blue 4.0 when down by goals trying to score? Or is it better to start with Blue now as well if new green is more defensive than old Green version? Expand
Green here is the same 5.0, I just changed the position so CMs become SS and AF, making it easier to change during match.
About starting with Green and using Light when winning well and Blue when losing, it's a good strategy and will probably make you win more than just using Green or Blue the entire season.
We need tô choose the players with best classifications (%)?
IF possible, give us a littlr tutorial about!
Or, how you search for players? Do you have filters?
Tks and cheers! Expand
The program is pretty straight forward, it gives a % showing how effective the player is in for each position. By default, it shows the best rating for any position, so if you want to see the rating for other positions, you can either add a new column (right-click) or open the player info and check general rating.

Green is very similar to this tactic, which scored 6.4. It's nearly as good as Blue, but worse in attack and better in defense. I believe Green is better than Solid Blue, but the difference shouldn't matter much if your team is very strong. In my experiments, Solid Blue conceded as little as Green, but Green had higher win rate.
Added a variant of Green for easy transition from/to Blue.
Green 5.0 (Blue Transition) is an alternative to Solid Blue 4.0 to hold a score. It changes the left AF and the SS to CM, becoming very efficient once you train those players on that position (don't worry with tactical familiarity for position/role/duty, the effect is minimum). A good strategy is to start matches with Blue, then switch to Green when you have a one goal lead. The other strategy is to start with Green, then switch to Blue if you concede a one goal lead, or if you have a draw after half time. Either of those strategies allow you to make full use of the advantages of Blue (high attack) and Green (high defense), maximizing your chance of winning.

which tactics work best for me?
This one will definitely go well, but in the end, any tactic works with Liverpool.
It works with any team, from IK Brage to Real Madrid or Juventude.
Should they sit behind the opponent's goal?
Then Blue 4.0 will do very well for you, even in the lower leagues.

Gratz! Nice goal difference too, more than double of PSG!
Training > Rest > No pitch or gym work
Just make sure to train the CMs as AF and SS, so they can be used in Blue without problem.

Gratz! (To be fair, the biggest surprise is to see England winning a world cup. =p)
I don't. It's always normal, but set to rest automatically when players are under excellent condition.

Added to first post.
It's not mandatory, but I recommend a setup similar to that (I use Light Green 5.0 instead, but the logic is the same).
