I played a full season with a custom team that I have created. I'm doing a challenge where I only use my youth academy and my youth talent - so, no transfers since I started. (Also, you'll notice that some of my players have a ! in the beginning of their names, it's just so I can identify who's a newgen and who's not).
I was promoted from Vanarama National and this was the first season playing in Sky Bet League Two. I used ZaZ 3.4 AW. All games were played, no holiday mode. The only tricky thing was the discipline, I had a lot of yellow and red cards. Other than that, 3.4 AW is amazing! Expand
Set players with yellow to ease off tackles, that helps a lot!
klokan said: hey @ZaZ , first of all gratz on another top tactic this year can you tell us please, what training do you use when it's time for international break? also, does it make sense to do the individual focus(quickness) on each player even though he can't be develop more than he did, for example some older players?
I suppose we can still let them train quickness becuase they decline less than they would if we don't put them on individual focus ? thx for answering Expand
Thanks! About the first question, I usually give vacation to my players and try to rest, or make some friendlies if they are not close to fatigue. If you have enough time, you can give players some rest, then do a mini pre-season of one or two weeks.
About quickness, I keep it on all players, even older, because I feel like it makes them keep their speed for a longer time, losing other attributes instead. I'm not sure if it really works that way, but I think they lose less speed when training quickness.
which version was the one that you and mark thought gave the best results , ive got loads in my ratings folder and i cant remember what order they i downloaded them in, would they work in FM21 or has everything changed between both games Expand
From my ratings, the one that subtracts 25 from all weights under 50 was the best, according to Mark's test. But I believe his scores might be better than mine since he tested that more than me.
I removed Blue 3.4 AW because of the problem described here. I will re-upload it after tests are done again. For Blue 3.4, I couldn't remove it because the delete button is not showing. @Zippo, can you fix that for me, please?
lHollow said: Wonderful tactic. I was able to win the runner-up with Southampton Thank you!
I have a question: Is it necessary to train the specific role? For example: Burki (POR) -> SK - SU? Expand
Thanks and congratulations! About your question, I always set training to the role because it affects tactical familiarity, like Poacher said above. However, I'm not sure how much that affects performance, and it's something very hard to test.
Rhumble said: Ive been really impressed with the work on here , attributes have always fascinated me , in the game they blind you with a range of attributes set for roles that dont really matter, as its all about positions not roles , if you were a new player to FM then they really are a pointless addition for SI , you ask the SI forum which attributes work for each position and ive always had an answer that makes me think not even SI know what attribute combinations work properly , everyone of them are linked in one way or another meaning you would need 20 odd attributes or more for each position which is unobtainable, what Mark and Zaz have done is actually done SI's job for them by helping everyone , so thanks to them for this.
Im still on FM 21 as i can never be bothered with the new one until i know there will be no more patches, so would some of these ratings work with FM 21 ?
Which is the ratings that was decided upon as the one to use ? ive got about 7 now in the ratings folder lol, as im late to FM22 i just wondered if there is a definitive decision of which rating is near to perfect for finding the right players and would it work with fm21 ? Expand
I had very little to do with that, it was mostly Mark and the guy from chinese forum. They deserve all credit. I just added a rating to the mix.
Petrades said: Do you have a download link of this setup? For some reason my DM is staying back. I am using a tactic with AML, AMR and DM (support duty). Expand
But that's the point. It stays back in a position that is usually not marked.
Stefan said: Yup, master ZAZ. The others are ZAZ tweaks, ZAZ sleeps, ZAZ refurbished, ZAZ copy random tweak ) Thank you for the consistency and quality. Expand
On the other hand, those guys that make tweaks can get that improvement that I wasn't able to find, so their contribution is also very welcome!
Aubagne FC said: Hi Zaz. I often browse this forum and I decided to publish from now on. Thank you very much already for the work done with your tactics. They are terrible and I think the football played by the players is good.
I started a save with Aubagne, a Division 4 club. In three seasons, thanks to Zaz 3.2, Zaz 3.3 and Zaz 3.4 I was able to access into the Division 1. During previous transfers, I recruited (as say in the Guide that I saw on the forum with Mark) fast players with good anticipation and it worked like thunder. This season, in the League 1, I finished 5th and I qualified for the Europa League. The players took time to understand the tactics, and I had a very weak squad, with a lot of wonderkids, especially in defense, but in the end the second half of the season was very good.
Thanks again ! Expand
You're welcome! I'm the one to thank you for testing!
P.S.: Sometimes my experiments get very crazy results like the one below. The same way RNG can get your team down, it can also get it up.
Joe said: How did Gelhardt perform in the SS role mate, im managing Blackburn Rovers and i used him in the ST role in the Championship and he was good for me but now im in my 1st season in the Premier league and ive put him to SS role now bcz i have better ST's so was wondering how he would perform in that role. Cheers Expand
As long as SS is at least accomplished, it usually goes well. If they are selfish they will score more and if they are selfless they will get more assists. The selfishness of a player is influenced by the chance of success of his options, like if he has good passing and vision, then his passes have more chance to succeed and he will try it more often.
pek80 said: helo mate, i just coppy ypur training, but it only appear for one week. How can i make it permanent or until i switch to pre season program? Expand
Go to training > calendar > put the schedule in any week, then press copy and paste to all other weeks. I don't know any faster method to do that.
taringakos said: I think it might have to do with the role, but I don't see my DM marking the Goalkeeper whenever I have an offensive throw in. With 3.4. Thanks for the tactics and hard work! Expand
Tsubasa said: @ZaZ, just to be sure... Do I understand correctly that "ZaZ - Blue 3.4" and "ZaZ - Blue 3.4 AW" tactics have fm-arena set pieces and the short throw-in exploit in them? Expand
Vipergray said: 3.3 was really successful. I have only one complaint, I need a system where goals are scored by a single striker. I want my striker to score at least 40 goals Expand
Sorry, this tactic spreads goals almost evenly between the three strikers (counting shadow striker), as well as some goals to wingers and defenders (from corners). There are some good tactics with a single striker in the table.
When FM-Arena's set pieces are updated.
Credits to @Zippo, not sure if he used my set pieces as inspiration or not.

No, I just tick to use the tactic and to go away for 330 days. I don't team selection and leave it open for the AM.

That routine comes from here, you can ask the author in details how it works.

Can't wait to see how it does!
Not my fault this time, just testing the new set pieces that they published. All credits to FM-Arena guys.
Yes, exactly that.
Let me know when you're done.
Done.
brad said: @ZaZ Can you upload training schedule?
There are pictures in the first post, at "Training".
Have you tired the new fm-arena set pieces and short throw-in exploit? If they're any good would add it your tactic?
Gonna upload a version with those set pieces in a moment.
Sorry, this tactic spreads goals almost evenly between the three strikers (counting shadow striker), as well as some goals to wingers and defenders (from corners). There are some good tactics with a single striker in the table.
