Pretty confident it would be. But I haven't tested it. Still to do the tests for FM23 as well
MaceyP said: Hey Mark, First of as this is my first post I want to say Hi. I feel like a naughty spy having followed this whole thread through FM22 but never created an Account.
I've just started playing FM 23 and fancied a lower team in Premier League or maybe lower league. I decided to give this a shot. I love how you've taken weights of 50+ from ykykyk and divided them by CA Cost. I decided to implement them into FM Lineup Tool even though its not updated anymore as a quick Rating guide and will use the ingame Filters also.
Looking forward to giving it a go. Expand
Welcome to the forum as a contributor. I am interested how it plays out, please give an update on what you found

I will probably have a look when they are finished and when the next update comes out.
Pikabo said: Ok, I had a small mistake in my calculations (mixed the multipliers for teamwork and leadership). Thanks for checking it on your side!
The only question thats left is that if it is accurate to use TRCA for other tactics as well? Does it matter what roles were used? Or as long as the tactic uses GK/CD/FB/DM/W/AM/ST and avoids WB/MC/MRL it is fine to use the TRCA to calculate players usefulness for that Position excluding factors like Players Instructions and Roles. I think that in previous converstations you have already touched the topic but I also think it was based on the General Rating from Genie Scout and not the TRCA. Any idea on that or is it something that was not tested so we can't be sure of the outcome? Expand
We definitely cant be as confident using a formation outside of Blue, however I think you can be reasonably confident. I have used the positions around and related to the ones tested to derive the ratings for other positions. I am confident it works.
I will give you my thoughts on the remaining questions. I have not seen anything that indicates roles are important. I have no faith in the general ratings, I only use positional ratings. Given the experience with the the ykykyky ratings I would be surprised if TRCA doesn't work. They claimed to have tested it and their work all stacks up. I will now have a bit of a look at it.
Pikabo said: Sure, maybe I can show you some examples for better understanding Let's forget about the part with dividing by the perfect player and only stop at the Tactical True Current Ability. Following only your caluclations quoted in my first post I've made an excel file using ykyky balanced table for FST.
I took 2 players and did the calculations:
Then I looked them up in the Genie scout (don't the have the G version so I downloaded FM22 again and used the older version) and their General Rating shows this: ^I know it says TS for Mavididi but its the exact the same as for the FST
And now like I mentioned before, I'm not a fan of Genie Scout cause it shows too much information (CA/PA, other hidden attributes etc.), but the Tactictal True Ability favors Mavididi by a margin and the General Rating in Genie shows that Abel Ruiz would be a better option by 0,5%. I just want to make sure that the excel file can help me pick up the player who probably should perform better based on the weighted attribute table I'm using. Expand
Ok, now I think I understand what you are after. I haven't really played with the Tactical Real CA (TRCA) before. When I do the calculations based on the info you provided I get different scores - 133.17 for Ruiz and 139.55 for Mavididi. When compared with their current CA of 130 (133.17) and 129 (139.55).
The machine learning conclusion would be pick Mavididi, because as they said "if the tactical real CA is higher than the player’s CA, the player is very suitable for ZaZ-Blue DM tactics. The higher the tactical real CA, the more suitable it is for player selection".
Pikabo said: Hello,@Mark I have a question that u have probably already answered in this thread but I'm a little bit lost. Same as others I would like to use excel for the calculations as I don't want to see CA/PA etc.
Based on the calculations provided I did some test to see how it works for Lewandowski as FST. After multiplying each player attribute by the atribute weighting for the FST from the ykyky balanced table, then divided the total of it by the total value of all the weightings (which is 1172 cause im not taking weakfoot) and it gave me a number which then I used to multiply by 20 and subtract 121. This resulted in 204,2 Tactical True Cuerrent Ability for Lewandowski. I also did the calculation for the "perfect player" and the maximum number based on the calculation shows 294,3. I divided Lewandowski's score by the "perfect player" score and % value is 72,7.
And here it is where I'm lost. What other calculation needs to be done to get the General Rating for the position I'm looking for. As I have seen some screenshots posted by You it shows that Lewandowski is somewhere around 92% and its way off from the 72,7 I'm getting.
Sorry in advance if something is unclear, but I hope it all makes sense Expand
I am not sure what some of that means. You dont need to divide by the perfect player score as genie scout will do the calculation.
Please tell me what you are trying to achieve and I will see if I can help you
My current testing table. As a recap I am using the bottom ranked side from all the 7 English competitions. So that is 314 matches for each run. The results differ slightly from the FM Arena tests where all teams are equal. So my tests favour how the tactics are for underdogs.
Any tactic in the top 7 will get you great results in my opinion, as there really isn't much between them. For instance, the earlier version of Wind 2.0 (Wind 1.1) had one bad division result that was quite costly. An average result there would have seen it 3rd or 4th, and I believe there were improvements to the tactic since I tested.
My recommendation would be to use 3 of the top 7 tactics in your 3 training slots making sure they are easy to move between. For example: 1 World of the Best Tactic (4-2-0-2W-2), 2 The Amazing Hindle (4-1-2-2W-1), 3 Amater v2 (4-2-1-2W-1). Ensuring you have (or train) a DM/MC to move from 1 to 2, and a ST/MC to move from 1 to 3 would make it easy to move around the 3 tactics during the game. You could do just as well using 1 Corsair, 2 ZaZ Wind and 3 WestHammer.
@ZaZ I would be happy to test. I have set up an environment that appears to be relative stable. All injury proneness and dirtiness set to 1 for all players, consistency and important matches set to 20, all injuries and bans removed prior to starting, morale and fitness etc set to 20, most contracts frozen as all players have 10 year contracts. I have only loaded the game for English Leagues but a couple of European players have come in for major teams. I have run most of the top tactics and the results are very close to proportionally to here. I have the lowest ranked side in each of the 7 English comps ie 314 matches per run, EPL thru VNS. The Training Rest has been set as per your advice, and the tests run on Holiday with must use tactics. The tests run for about 90 minutes but you get 314 match results for the run. I am just running the second Corsair one at the moment.
Please let me know if you want to be my next guinea pig.
I have taken my old Sponge Bob tactic from FM21 as the base. It was my most successful tactic in FM21. Following NTR proving that AM wingers are better than MRLs and that strikerless dont work I moved the wingers and strikers up a slot each. this moves the formation from 4-2-2W-2-0 to 4-2-0-2W-2. I didn't alter the default positional instructions for the wingers and strikers when moved forward and left what was already there for the other roles. I have not adjusted the set pieces.
I have tested the tactics 6 times with St Albans and 3 times with Everton. The results are impressive. With St Albans the worst position was 3rd with 87 points and still being promoted. The best is the picture below. These are comparable with the best tactics on the FM Arena Table that I tested in this league during Beta.
I also tested with Everton and got a 3rd place finish. I think there is room for improvement but I do think this tactic is competitive.
It still seems to be a good base rating file. I used ykykyky balanced last year for a fair while but I didn't find a big overall difference in team selections or scouting so I am back to using this for FM23.
I should have done more testing. The next test I got sacked. Oh well, worth trying a new formation. I might dust off my FM21 Sponge Bob tactic which is the same shape as the current leader and give it a try
Pretty confident it would be. But I haven't tested it. Still to do the tests for FM23 as well
I do.

I will probably have a look when they are finished and when the next update comes out.
I mean 100 for Pace, 70 for acceleration, and decrease with all the other ratings ?
The problem would be that you end up with the same rating for each position. Feel free to give it a try
Thanks
That's what the machine learning guys said. I have no knowledge of how they came to that conclusion
The only question thats left is that if it is accurate to use TRCA for other tactics as well? Does it matter what roles were used?
