4213 Striker Madness V16

Tweaks from this: https://fm-arena.com/thread/9824-4213-striker-madness-v5/
- added @CBP87 latest tweaks on his Katana, which I saw it boosted his score, meaning cross from byline on FBs and removed hold up ball on AM

to be honest mate, I wouldn't look too much into that, https://fm-arena.com/thread/9945-katana-4231-pos-99p-v1-0/ performed much better over 2400 matches, scoring 66.1

hmm, didn't remember what this scored after 2400, but yeah, I was skeptic with hold up ball removed from the AM, but who knows.. I didn't have the patience to wait for the 4k on the new one )

The 4800 matches destroyed it, dropped 2.7 points

Yup... I don't know how the match engine changed with this update; it's strange. Maybe it has to do with the updates the guys made to the testing method. But I see that the 4231 dropped in effectiveness, and the 424 is the new meta (until this point, at least). And also the CM's seem to perform better, I uploaded a tactic similar to this one but with 2 CMs and it scored 62.4, okay after 1200, but still... Why would SI not show any match engine tweaks...but here they are ). Your 433 as well scored a lot higher

As you said, maybe the changes in effectiveness has changed due to the changes in testing. In my own testing though I had noticed a difference in mentalities. Katana v3.1 was always achieving over 100 points in my testing but since the update, the highest its got 95 points and I've done over 10 tests with it, not a large sample I know but its very strange how it never achieved under 100 points prior to the update and now it can't get above 95 points

I'm sure that there are some tweaks to the match engine also. It's a mix between the updates to the arena and the match engine changes. But is seems that now, more shapes are performing better, which is a good thing
