    Just released a new version that should fix some of the most common issues
    * positions not showing up in DM / ST position because incorrectly configured, UI does no longer allow incorrect configurations and guides user to do it correct
    * Tool not loading when a position file cannot be read
    * Extra positions available
    * Better UI experience so user can no longer load scouted list as squad list (the thing that tookajobs did wrong in the fmscout youtube video)

    @MattJFMgamer
    have you added custom own positions? in that case can you sent them to me (you can get them from the Positions subfolder of the tool) - sent to [email protected]

    Looks to me it fails loading positions.

    @March - two of the three tactics are default tactics included in the game but, in any event, I'm not sure why anybody would request a link to somebody else's tactic when they've no idea how good or bad are the results that the tactic has delivered.
  • March's avatar
    Do you have a link to the three tactics you use?
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    @mattjfmgamer can you send me the entire error message which is available when you click 'details' in the error popup. Also let me know if you've done some manual actions (like adding a tactic or so...)
    You can mail it to [email protected]
  • MattJFMgamer's avatar

    I'm a bit surprised how many people ask for a mac version :D the tool is not designed to be easily ported for mac, but due to the high request for it I will do some research on how I can make this possible.
  • Ygt77's avatar
    Not working on mac :/ any plans for this?

    @fightcat, I released a new version just now that will come through the auto-updater

    It has support for stopper & cover duties and the libero support is added by default as selectable in the defender center position.

  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    @FightCat you can just create the "Libero" as a role right, with duty Support and assign it as Position: D, Side C
    then you can put that in the central defender slot in the tactic creator....
  • FightCat's avatar
    I play FM 21 and definitely deployed a Libero in Support Duty.

    Thanks for the clarifications!
  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    @fightcat you are right about the Stopper & Cover duties... I'll add them, for now you could cheat and call the role DC St and than assign randomly a duty... it's really nothing more than a label. It's only important that the preferred & required stats you configured are correct

    The libero position does not exist any longer in FM21 if I'm correct? just a central defender right? and after that you have the keeper, there is nothing in between keeper and Central defender positions right?
  • FightCat's avatar
    Oh and Libero position is missing entirely as a label
  • FightCat's avatar
    Nice tool but I spotted something missing I guess.

    When creating a new role for Defense, the Duty selection are still D, S and A instead of D, St, Co.

    Nice to hear @Joeke

    Great piece of work! It already helped me in a few things! :-)

    @BallWinningFm, I'm afraid the technology the tool is written in does not allow me to do an easy port for mac (or at least not something I'm aware of).
  • BallWinningFm's avatar
    Any chance you could make this available for Mac as well, please?

  • DavyDepuydt's avatar
    "Click tactic slot" means you just click on a player on the field... and on the right hand side it will show details for the position you've clicked :)

  • CBP's avatar
    All sounds very promising, is there any scope to be able to change roles on the tactic itself when it appears? Also at the bottom it references click tactic slot for more details, I might be being thick but I can't find the tactic slot
