Hi, the font I use is "Montserrat-SemiBold" (in older versions of the skin I used "GothaProMed" which looks very similar. You can just Google the fonts, not sure if they are copyright protected.

Never had this screen before (staff reactions to add posted for open positions) decided to edit it Default screen: New (edited) version:

Here is the tweaked tactic I used with Sampdoria and the set pieces I used PORTO FM24 ATT 4-2-3-1 FB-OVRLP-NO STCK-DRBBL.fmf1-24 Set Piece Best Hits FROM HAN106.fmf

The match engine hasn’t changed since update 24.3.0, at least that is what I read on the forums. My Sampdoria season ended well, ended up without any new signings as 3rd and automatic Champions League qualification. I copied/pasted a posting I made on “footballmanagergraphics.com” below with some screenshots. "MARZANO GUIDES SAMPDORIA TO THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FOR THE 2025-2026 SEASON!!!!!" Davide Marzano managed the "impossible" this 2nd season, with only a permanent signing for 1.9 MM (young Goalkeeper Stankovic from Inter, who was previously on loan at Sampdoria) and no other additions and a challenging sized and quality (compared to most teams in Serie A and an almost non-existent budget in combination with a bad month from Mid March till Mid April where the team was unable to win any matches (3 lost, 1 draw). After this bad run, a 6 games winning streak secured a CHAMPIONS LEAGUE qualification spot, in 3rd overall. Overtaking Fiorentina on the final day given result elsewhere. After winning promotion last season to Serie A and now guiding his team to an amazing European adventure within slightly tweaked version of the original tactic. Added tweaked set pieces, massive thanks to user @han106 for creating a mix of best set pieces set ups out there, which includes set pieces by "CSTG KANE!", "DELICIOUS", "ZIMSMULA" and "CHOU" and others likely, ensured even more solid results in the final few games, with wins against Internazionale, Juve and Atalanta as highlights. The set pieces download is included below with the last used tactics where I removed "get stuck in" and removed "run with ball" which with Sampdoria worked both even better. Signed Mason Greenwood on a free transfer, joining the team for Season 3 as the only real reinforcement.

Nice, yes I agree that tactics with 2 strikers, same role, 2 central midfielders, same role, two central defenders, same role, really gets boring and unrealistic. I like what you did there, great idea!

Hi, I hardly ever use the DEFEND version sometimes only when in the final 5-8 minutes of the match to make sure the score doesn’t change. Attack is usually the best defense to keep the pressure on if the fitness levels are still good enough

Here some more (limited screenshot upload capacity)

I used a slightly tweaked version of the tactic with Sampdoria (just promoted to Serie A using the original tactic posted here). With a tough season ahead where to goal was solely to "avoid relegation" we were able to even secure Champions League qualification with a3rd spot in the Serie A!!! This was part of a "relay run" set up by Moderator Derek at FMG (FMG Pass The Save FM24 - FMG Pass The Save - Football Manager Graphics) where he managed season 1 and I took over the team as Davide Marzano for season 2. I decided to add: "pass into space", replace "underlap" with "overlap" and edited some PI. Removed "run with ball" team instruction as with Sampdoria as a less "gifted" team as most Serie A teams was more vulnerable at losing the ball in key spots while dribbling more. Some "bad runs" like between middle of March till mid April, 4 games without a win (3 games lost and 1 draw) didn't stop us from finishing in 3rd and a spot in the Champions League Group Stage! Almost no budget, no players bought, with exception of Filip Stankovic (transfer listed at Inter and only cost us 1.9MM), a young goalkeeper who was the whole previous season on loan at Sampdoria, a small and young selection of players, injuries and some bad runs of results. Still finishing as 3rd was an amazing achievement given all of this. I used a set piece download for the last 10-12 games created by @Han106 (attached) which helped me to be more efficient with set pieces.

Thanks for the feedback!!! Could you share your tweaked version? Curious to see if it as effective as this one. You can PM me if you like, would be very interested in trying the tweaked version ;-)

No worries, let me know how it worked for you! The skin is Champions League 2024, exclusively posted here: https://footballmanagergraphics.com/topic/1821-champions-league-2024-skin-full-version-released/#comment-11767

The 4-2-3-1 tactic is one of the most efficient tactics in FM24 (in FM23 I meanly used 4-3-3). For FM24 I used two base tactics, one with an attack minded setup and one to “close the door” to see the result out in the last 5-10 minutes of the game when needed. No OI’s used. NO transfers in/out, so used the budget (almost no funds available) to keep the selection together, lowest spending in the whole league on transfers. In the January 2024 transfer window, I lost a very good player (Joao Mario) to Manchester City, no option to keep him and replaced him with a young signing (Sebastian Boselli 20, River Plate), who is promising but not of the same calibre, so we played the second part of the season with a slightly weakened squad. Lost traction as a result as many players were unhappy with Joao Mario leaving and several players asked for improved contracts and no funds available, this led to a drop in morale which is so vital to performances. Despite all of this I managed to win the Portuguese League (only 1 loss away to Benfica, 0-1), drew 5 matches against weaker opponents due to needed squad rotation and lower morale (unhappy players). Won the Portuguese Super cup, both domestic cups and the Champions League (3-0 win in final). Eliminated PSG in semi-finals aggregate 4-1, while RB Leipzig eliminated Man City aggregate 2-1. The main tactic (Attacking) uses underlaps (very efficient when using IF/IW), high intensity tactic with “NO hard tackles” instructions in PI and no “get stuck in” team instruction. There may be a slight advantage to use these settings but given the increased yellow/red cards, injuries, suspensions I decided to “play nice” and only used that for the Defensive tactic where you want to frustrate the opponent and see out the game. The defensive tactic aims also to play with a MID block and slightly higher defensive line to limit space and slightly more direct (less shorter passing) than the attacking variant. Second highest in possession in the league, but that was not the focus for the tactics, highest in shots on goals and fewest shots against. A very solid tactic, not to keep “clean sheets” but more to “outscore the opponent”. PORTO FM24 DEF 4-2-3-1.fmf PORTO FM24 ATT 4-2-3-1.fmf

It’s not a bug in the game, but they changed something with the fonts. So it’s not a coding issue. It has to do with the colour settings in the font you are using. See my screenshot, it works just depends on coding in the font itself.

It’s on the previous page

The folder that has your player pictures in it. In my case I have cut-out pictures. Don’t forget to rename the ID# itself as well with the “r-“ in front of it
