Jet2 said: So basically you kept your formation from all zazs whatever and used another author's tips. (example Frisk, it's XMAS_twkd3). Nice touch by the way especially with the mentality in the balance! I think you should update your front page and give proper credit and not say that you delayed your releases because you conducted tests. You waited ... you saw... and you copied...  My opinion but I will flag it properly if you don't change it. By the way you mention a lot to ZAZ Blue. Its Phoenix tactic. Good luck with the rest "tests"

Please, report in the proper place (https://fm-arena.com/board/9-fair-play-commission/) and provide details about how my tactic is a copy of some other.

Keep in mind that several instructions were tested by this page (https://fm-arena.com/board/10-tactical-instructions-testing/), and that I am allowed to use other people's results to guide my tests, just like everyone else in the page does. If there is any tactic posted here (or anywhere else) that is too close to any of my tactics, I will gladly credit it in the first post.

About Phoenix, it's very easy to check that Blue was posted before Phoenix.

Water 3.0 up. Let me know how it performs for you!
crizeKOS said: For me this is the tactic with the most potential on the table, is a scoring machine! Keep working on that!

Thanks! I hope it is at least a good foundation for Fire 3.0 later. In both FM21 and FM22, my initial tactics weren't that great in the first patches.
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.
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.
