    Tested on the 26.1.3, I won a clean sweep with Arsenal in the first season. I won the Carabao Cup, the EPL, the FA Cup and the Champions League. I scored 127 goals in the league with 28 clean sheets overall and 3.3 goals per game. I scored 35 goals from corners. I won games 13-1 and 9-1. Gyokeres was the top scorer with 45 goals.

    Haha @DiMarc10 right now I would say they are all top level for winning with teams of different levels and this is why you are seeing similarities in the instructions while I change the shapes and player roles and instructions to create different patterns and shapes that way. My fav is the winger having a cm underlap into space it looks so good.

    I got a 442 coming and a remake of superman from last year with 3 cbs but one...maybe 2 being attacking.

    After that my plan is to do some style focused ones.

    Being honest tho it's difficult people just want to win and tend to love certain formations. I did a diamond last week which is so much much and so different to watch but views wise on here and yt people dont check it out so the interest is low.

    @GYRFM Well then, let me ask that question too. What's the best to win :)

    All good mate glad you have three running. So the passing and the tempo is the same but play positions will change creating different patterns of play. I guess you could say its my current tactical philosophy 😂

    Also does make it easier to use multiple tactics at once as you can change with minimal impact to tactical familiarity while attacking with different shapes.

    What i tend to do is go OP tactics at the start but the later we get into the game the more I mess with styles, roles and stuff like that as right now the question I get asked the most is "what's the best to win" so makes sense to focus on that.

    Appreciate the support and as I said happy to get feedback so no issues but mostly glad you are enjoying them

    @GYRFM I may not have explained myself clearly before. I’m using three of your tactics in rotation and I’m very happy with them.

    My only question was about the team instructions: although the shapes change, the instructions often stay the same, so to me the overall effect feels similar. I didn’t mean to say the tactics don’t work — I actually enjoy them a lot.

    @DiMarc10 appreciate the feedback but I disagree as the roles and how they interact impact how each tactic plays and moves aswell as the shape.

    Sorry your not enjoying them tho

    Why do key tactical elements such as playing style, tempo and overall game model remain unchanged, while only the formation on the pitch is altered? In this state, the tactics are not clearly differentiated from each other.

    Lately, you have been releasing two tactics per week, but the game model is identical in all of them: high tempo, similar passing patterns, and the same defensive and attacking principles.

    As a result, these do not feel like different tactics, but rather the same tactical approach applied to different formations. This is something that should be addressed.

    @Davud756 I'll say i appreciate the support because thats a great spot. I did change it to doom last year ( i just like the name haha) but yes its such a strong formation combining the best if the 4231 while being a 433.

    Hope you like this one

    Ooooh, is this a take on the old Guardians of the goalie tactic? probably my fave tactic on 24
