The Last Shadow - 343 Suplex in the wind V2

The Last Shadow

I've been using the testing league that Will put together and some of the community are using. I noticed that France were always in the top 3 of my test results. So I looked at the shape they were using and it was a 3412. I decided to try my hand at putting together a 3412 using some of the key instructions from some of the top tactics on this site and finally I managed to get some success with this one, The Last Shadow.



The set pieces are my own, but as I said roles and TIs are based on the top tactics on here. So credit to those 3 creators.

As you can see, it went unbeaten in the league, winning 33 drawing 5 and losing 0, we conceded 1 goal out the last 50 games from a set piece. Unfortunately City crashed out of the UCL in the QF stage.



I've also included the score from my testing with Will's testing league, it scored a respectable 544, which I believe would put this in 2nd place in his testing (well 2nd for now)

Just for clarity, this is shape France have been using in the test league

Here're some reasons why French team might do well:

- French team might have better players than other teams

- The AI manager of French team might have better attributes than other AI managers

- if the league plays 100 matches and you test without using FMRTE then teams with  a deep bench get an advantage so it might French team has 22 good players and other teams only 14-17 good players

- At the start the Team Cohesion of French team might be better than other teams have

There could be many other factors...

Thanks for pointing that out, I never realised other factors could contribute to a teams success

The one constant I found when looking at the French team was the shape they used. The other variables are difficult to mimic because the team selection changes as well as some instructions and yes the French team may have better players but the shape was a constant, but FMRTE wasn't used so as you said team selection would vary. I'm aware of all the other factors but I can't duplicate what I can't see and bear in mind you don't have data hub or analyst reports at international level
