Filters depends on the league you are in. Look at the average for the key attributes for the league and then base your minimums on those as a starting point

ZaZ said: There is no such thing as 21.7, at least in the original edition. This tactic works well in 21.4, the current patch from fm. Expand

From memory the match engine was 21.7 but the game version is 21.4. Could be wrong. Either way this is still good under the current game which wont change now until the FM22 game

Click on the column heading of Club and it will sort by club. You could read the user guide at https://www.fmscout.com/a-genie-scout-guide.html

Middleweight165 said: So for example, I load my current game in Genie Scout, then select your ratings, then search by position rating, Wing Back Right >80%, one result Kyle Walker, so according to your ratings Kyle Walker is the best WBR in the game.

Is this accurate? Expand

As long as they are also rated as Natural in that position. It looks like he is Natural as a DR and still Natural as a WBR even though the position rating is 18. So yes, I think he probably is.

The higher the Genie Scout rating the better the player based on the position. See post #48 on page two of this topic - it explains it for you

wsndbd said: hi,@Mark, can you sort these values into the minimum attribute values? Like this one? I don't know how to map the score to the minimum attribute. Sorting into the smallest attribute may be more intuitive. Thank you very much!

It really does depend what league you are managing in. Let me know and I will try and do this for you

Gaksital said: Okay, I'm going to start adding a new set piece to Liar v1 right now.

Btw, it is not clear until it is evaluated whether this tactic is excellent. However, I can be sure that this play is the funniest tactic I've ever uploaded.

Thank you





That's a disappointing rating. I was really, really sure... lol Expand

Definitely had that as well, and the tactics still play well and are worth it. As I have said before on this website, anything above 6.0 will do well and enjoy the tactics you have designed

You need to make sure they go to the right folder so your game knows they are there.

Assuming you have a standard windows install the tactics file should go to a location like the following:

C:\Users\<<insert your user name of pc here>>\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2021\tactics

Or go to this tutorial

Hope this helps

ZaZ said: They usually perform badly in any tactic using this formation. For attributes, I usually look for PAce, Acceleration, Agility and Jumping Reach. Expand

I agree but would add decisions as important for this role.

And improve your defensive players, better decisions and positioning required

I would select the league and then sort by position. Look at around 20th and somewhere around that mark or a little lower should be fine, given the tactics here are pretty impressive. Double that so 40th or a little lower for duplicate positions like DCs.

No, not at all. They are taking a generic approach across all positions. I have attempted to harvest all the data I could to try and distil it down to each position. Like everything in life it is a judgement call, and I am happy with mine. I dont know if you have followed all my posts, but I am playing 3 teams in 3 different countries - St Albans low tier England, won Vanarama South when favorites to be relegated, Macarthur FC A-League mid table side won A-League, Holstein Kiel mid tier side Bundasliga 2 side won Bundasliga 2. Second season St Albans equal leaders VNL, Holstein Kiel 3rd in Bundasliga and Macarthur yet to start their campaign. I am thinking the ratings are working. But like @Egraam said, the ratings are really comparing positional ratings not the best players.

BeRe said: actually me too,dont undestand it.if i go and do these changes on rating what does it change in genie?how can i use it? Expand

Click on the GS logo top left, then mouse down to Ratings, then Edit Ratings. You can then replace what is there with the ones I have provided. Probably best to save the existing more you edit though so you can go back if you need to. To save, click on the Rating button bottom right. Save as a different file when you have finished inputting and you will have access to both sets of ratings and can move between them if you choose to.

It is for current ability. It weights the attributes in relation to the position, with the higher weighting being the most important attribute.

Here is an example. Standard ratings on GS of my Central Defenders at St Albans



My ratings of the same Central Defenders



Not much between them in the standard one but wouldnt you definitely buy the top one in my ratings. They are ranked by the column on the left which is the DC current ability

At this post I highlight the least costly most beneficial training attributes in order by position. This is for Individual training / Additional focus. Pick the attribute that needs most improvement for individual players for the position you want to play them in. You should also be training the player in the role you are going to use them in the Position/Role/Duty

Hope this helps.

I use Genie Scout - see my ratings for Genie Scout at this post:

https://fm-arena.com/find-comment/5071/

So use use all relevant attributes weighted.

Here are my most important attributes by position

From my experience playing FM you need your side to be scoring around the 2 points per match to be competitive and a chance to win the title in most leagues. When I look at the FM Arena table, and the top 100 tactics, the 100th tactic is only 5.5 points overall behind this over a season.
Given we have other weapons in our arsenal, eg we know the attributes that are key for each position so can maximise talent, we have training schedules that get the most out of players, we know how to go about keeping player morale up, I think you could realistically pick any of the top 100 tactics and be a successful manager.

So when looking at the FM Arena table look for a tactic that is in the top hundred and suits the style of football you want to play, not just the top rated tactics.
I am very happy with how Sponge Bob V9 has been going.  At a rating of 6.4 this tactic is only 3.5 points in a season behind the 2 points per game. I might experiment with a few other lower ranked tactics of interest as well.

Here is a run with Liverpool in holiday mode.

I have gone back to the old Sponge Bob tactic and tweaked using advice I have rea on other tactics. Changed Full Backs and Wingers, removed tight marking, put in ZaZ Blue 3 set pieces and adjusted for formation, and adjusted some other positional instructions.

Did my testing against my old testing database and the results come up better than ZaZ Blue and Phoenix. It tests the bottom and top rated team for each English Division. Hopefully closer to them now on FM Arena.

I have drawn inspiration from the original Sponge Bob and from Afterlife by @Zealot. Trying to come up with a formation that no one else has used that still taps into the winning formula for FM21. I have done limited testing but it appears to be pretty decent, see results below.
