I like to manage weaker teams and impress my board and fans alike. In FM 2023 this is even harder then before I think . Tried possesion system and gegenpress but they all failed for logical reasons. This strategy is working so far (15 games). First the set-up and thinking behind it makes sense. Teams without transfer budget with players of limited individual quality can only play in certain ways so that the team can hide lots of their weaknesses. You play vs better teams and some monster teams all season long and it can be frustrating if you lose a lot and the team morale is zero. I got some big draws away vs big teams which was pleasing but I think you also have to engage with shouts and good opposition instructions to improve your odds and also to prevent big losses that can kill the spirit of the team.
This strategy is promising. Bababooey thank you for saving me lots of frustration and you should continue with this topic especially how you tweak it after a while and what kind of recruits should be a priority after 1st and 2nd season. It is a delicate task as we know the budget will be a problem with smaller teams for some time and next few transfer periods are crucial.
I found out that you need to have a bigger squad for rotation and due to more yellow/red cards. Also I noticed quite a few teams got red cards playing against my team so it helped to get good results.
