OVERVIEW

Overview

This 4-2-1-3 system was built to provide consistent attacking output while maintaining structural balance across different squad profiles. The focus is on vertical progression, intelligent spacing between the lines, and sustained pressure in the final third rather than overly complex tactical instructions.

Across testing, the system delivered 3+ goals per game at peak performance and produced strong results over full domestic seasons. The tactic was tested with different squad levels to assess adaptability rather than short-term dominance.

Testing Methodology

Testing was carried out using a 70/30 split between holiday and manual play. The majority of league fixtures were holidayed for consistency, while cup matches and key league games were played manually.

Set pieces and training were handled in the same way as in my long-term livestream saves, with no testing-specific optimisation.

A rotation of three closely related variants was used throughout the season. These were small tweaks of the base tactic designed to suit different game states and opposition approaches, reflecting realistic long-term save usage rather than reliance on a single static setup.

FINAL NOTES

I’m Josh Daly, a full-time Football Manager content creator, working with the game on a daily basis. Because this is my full-time role, I spend 12–14 hours a day on Football Manager across testing, livestream saves, tactical development, and content production.

I have 40,000+ YouTube subscribers, have worked on the FMScout YouTube channel for over two years, and currently support a community of 7,000+ Patreon members — the largest Patreon page dedicated to Football Manager content. This demonstrates the loyalty and trust people have in my work.

The tactics I share here are built and tested using the same approach I apply to my long-term saves and live content, not one-off simulations.

I’m proud of the community around my work and the level of discussion it creates, and I’m always open to constructive feedback and genuine tactical debate.
