ZaZ
Spreading the backline, with OCBs and PWBs set to stay wider, instead of narrower.




Trying a different formation.




Jk47 said: Any P.I for the players ?

Tackle harder for all players, IF play wide, PWB play narrow. In my current tests, I am getting better results with OCB and PWB playing wide, though.
dzek said: @ZaZ PWBs behave like CWBs?

PWB will cut to the middle and focus on passes, instead of trying to get in a position to cross.
As requested, experiments from last week with PWB. Testing both versions with best results to check which is better, since results were inconclusive.

Do you have a file with the class schedule?


This is what I am using at the moment. Attention to the three rest sessions after every match, and double intensity when full energy (no training when energy is not full).

FM DNA said: Very good tactic

Thank you for testing it!
I would like to suggest that tactics require a short description in order to be accepted for testing. It is especially important in series of tactics that have barely the same name, and the descriptions are just "won all leagues" or "tactic for all teams". It would help a lot if they just added one line like "testing overlaps", so we know what is the difference to other similar tactics.
The tactic from last week. I renamed to 1.32 instead of 1.3 OCB-CHF, since it was the best performance of the batch.

White Europe said: Top 30 tactics are just slight tweaks of someone else who found meta first, which was knap this year.

Autumn came before that, but Gerrard probably contributed more than me. All top tactics since the beginning of FM-Arena are improved by continuous small tweaks found by others. I think we should just be happy if we find tweaks that contribute to improve all tactics overall.
Testing WDMs.
YildizAli said: My wing-backs and inside forwards are ending up in the same pockets of space, often just a few yards apart. It’s a bit counterproductive as they aren't offering different passing lanes.

I’m not sure how this reflects in the data perhaps it’s even statistically better this way but it’s definitely not aesthetically pleasing.


Thank you for the feedback.
WB cutting inside and underlaps.



PaulCustus said: Hi @ZaZ do you train players in the roles (IP/OOP) they are playing in your chosen tactic?

I put them in a role from the position they will play, with highlighted attributes containing pace and acceleration. The role itself does not matter much, it is only used to define attribute gain in training.
Changing some roles.




Just Autumn with some input from Diaboliq. The major difference in instructions is that everyone is set to shoot less, including the strikers.




max 737 said: for GK do you train Reactions or Agility and balance?

Reactions.
max 737 said: @ZaZ  Do we set training intensity to automatic, normal or double for full green?

It depends on your schedule. For my schedule, I use double when full.
dakka said: hello @ZaZ
do i have to put this schedule every week manually?

or this schedule automatically applied in each week?

anyway
can you capture your Double Match Schedule?
and re upload?


Both schedules are in the picture, and also in the attachments.

About putting every week manually, unfortunately that is how it works in FM. I have complained about it for years, and instead of improving, they even removed the copy and paste button...
