Btw thanks for all the tactics and tips u give. Expand
That is a tricky question in this version of the game. Ideally I would use a tactic variant with better defense (and similar point per match) in the first half, to avoid conceding goals and frustrate the opponent, then switch to one of the tactics with better points per match in the second half. The problem of this FM 26.3 is that the current top tactics already have nearly the best defense, and those that concede less goals are often much below in points per match, so it is more effective to simply use one of the top tactics the whole match and keep shouting encouragement to the players.

In my opinion, it is not worth to waste time with player development at lower leagues. I just do Physical x1 every week there to increase their pace and acceleration, but other than that, they are mostly disposed by the end of the season once you become professional, because you can hire better players for free once your reputation goes up.
66connor66 said: Thanks for the tactics ZaZ. Bit of a random one and may have been answered before but just getting back into FM. Does pitch size matter? Expand
I always choose maximum size. Smaller pitch favors more defensive tactics (less space behind defenders and in the flanks), while larger pitch is better for tactics that exploit those spaces.
Antal said: Thank you for your active participation and assistance in learning the game, our friend. I have a question. I've been studying the training testing forum at your link for a long time. Training system: *6 attack, * match practice, physical, attack, (331), and others really show good test results, defence But with double training only at maximum physical fitness, we can't have all players train according to this schedule, because a full rest day doesn't allow all players to fully recover. Have you considered this situation? We can make substitutions and some players will have time to recover, but four or five players won't be able to make our training schedule. Expand
Thank you!
About the training intensity, it depends a lot on your goal. I also try to minimize injuries to optimize results in the current season, and setting double training at 80% seems to increase injuries more than I am willing to compromise. In my opinion, it is not worth just so a handful of players can participate in training. The results of training Attacking x4 are barely the same as Attacking x6, and players end up reaching PA anyway, so I personally prefer to have the best players during the whole season. The authors of the chinese study claim the development is faster with double intensity at 80%, though, so it is a personal choice.
What I am currently testing is to add some recovery sessions to avoid losing match fitness, especially in the weeks with a single Physical session. That seems to be the biggest complaint of people trying that training, and I am trying to address that issue.
Alexandru said: I can see you are not putting "Automatic" training intensity based on img you posted. Is it correct? Intensity is set as you describe but for individual players everything is "Normal" however their condition is full. Expand
No, I use automatic training intensity to ensure players rest after they participate in matches, and do double training when condition is full. It appears normal because FM26 UI is awful. You can try to change it to automatic yourself there, and you will see it will return to normal on its own. I just avoid touching individual player intensity.
MrCroDevil said: This is all of training? And what about youngsters, only quickness or do I need something else to train? Expand
What I do is to set just Rebalance during early years, which means one physical session per week. That ensures they increase Pace and Acceleration without compromising their potential attributes.
WesleySantiago said: @ZaZ It's now possible to save player search filters. Could you create a filter for us? Position by position? If so, that would be a great help! Expand
I will see what I can do about it.
P.S.: I added two player filters to the initial post, one more generic to be used in the initial steps of scouting (or in lower leagues), and one to find more elite players.
Alexandru said: Impressive explanation with such an attention to all details. Really helped a lot. Thanks to it I started a new challenge - Gibraltarian league "home grown only challenge" with FC Hound Dogs. True pain mixed with pleasure. Expand
elynem said: Is this training also viable for FM24?
The training was probably not changed from 24 to 26.
In the scouting screen, player database, you can change the filter in the top right of the screen.
Gratz!

Switch to Very Attacking, encourage your players with a shout and pray. =)
I have no clue, I do not use them.

I am testing this tactic right now and it's going well with Wolves, but my question is;
when I get tactical advices for matches, should I apply all these including mentality? Or should I leave it?
I always ignore them.

There is a discussion about training with people much more qualified than me to talk about it.

In that shape, the best tactic tested in FM-Arena was this one: https://fm-arena.com/thread/17931-433-fwxm-mptp-v3-1/
