Are we even bothering with FM 26?

For everyone's info: gegenpress and acc/pace attributes are still meta.

Of cource I couldn’t run a fully detailed test like the experts here, and more reliable results will surely come from others on the forum who conduct deeper analyses later on. However, in my own experiment with Wolves, I used a high-tempo, high-pressing tactic with a starting eleven built around players who had high pace and acc (while most of their other attributes were average or below).
The result: I finished the first half of the season in 2nd place.

Sports Interactive is the biggest joke in the gaming history.

Even after whatever match engine changes they've made, the same 4231 Knap Gegenpress tactic still dominates.  It's also the same both in and out of possession.

In other words - nothing about the meta has changed.  And I'm guessing that nothing will change, either.
