ZaZ - Blue 3.0 2AF Tweak

ta2199 said: Hey @ZaZ, can you create a new tactic with 2 AF ( with the same PI's like SS) ?. I just wanted to see which grade that tactic gonna get. I think It gonna be 7.0 Expand

Blue 3.0 with AF instead of SS. I don't think it will reach 7.0, but there it is.

@ZaZ, hi

This tactic looks the same as Fanatic tactic and the only difference I see it uses Defensive Wingers instead of normal Wingers. Am I right? https://fm-arena.com/tactic/953-fanatic/

Fanatic is a tweak of Phoenix and this is a tweak of Blue. They have some small differences other than the wingers, like player instructions, set pieces and one or other role.

Thanks.

They are pretty similar, to a point that they could have merged during their development. Some versions got more different than others, but they evolved independently. Here is a timeline:
- First tactic I uploaded here, inspired by Duke 433 v4: https://fm-arena.com/tactic/678-zaz-total-football-442/
- First version of Red: https://fm-arena.com/thread/779-zaz-red/
- First version of Blue (it was a tweak of Red): https://fm-arena.com/thread/780-zaz-blue/
- For reference, this is the first version of Phoenix: https://fm-arena.com/thread/784-phoenix/

I can't talk by Magician, but I believe Phoenix was born as a tweak of Red before going his own direction. Since Blue is also a tweak from the same tactic, it's no surprise that they got very similar.

Yup, you're right. It was inspired by Red.

if you don't like strikerless tactics then you can really play with strikers in FM21... they aren't much worse, it's only about 7-8% less efficient than strikerless which isn't a big deal at all. The quality of your player makes a much bigger difference.

I agree with that, for example, if you take PSG and put it into some amateur league then you can easily win it even with a tactic that has 3.0 rating.

@ta2199, now you can say for sure Fanatic is the best tactic with strikers. Possibly something to do with the wingers, maybe DW have a harder time to cover the gap behind strikers.

didnt think that it would decrease the grade from 7.2 to 6.6. Pretty surprise actually
