My tweak of delaneytomlinson's Raptor v4 tweak is performing really well now! I've had two back-to-back undefeated domestic campaigns in the Russian top league with Spartak Moscow, though I think further tweaks might be required as I'm still having trouble in the Champions League against bigger clubs. The defence is relatively tight and the tactic scores loads of goals but seems to be a bit exposed in some counter-attacking situations. Happy to upload the tactic if anyone wants to give it a test or help in fine-tuning it further.

Also getting this issue with the Russian leagues. I can't play the game anymore, I'm relying on youth and they're all stuck in the B team....

Hi guys,
Is Cerber v5 on page 75 approx with the updated freekicks still the best for the new FM21?
Or do you guys have a good tip for a great plug and play tactic for fm21?Hey @TheDog89, Cerber v5 is working well in FM21, though people are having good results with Executioner and Raptor v4 as well. I'm currently using a further tweaked version of @delaneytomlinson's Raptor v4 tweak and it's performing similarly to Cerber v5 so far

just use raptor v4 normal tactics but use a 4-2-3-1 formation.
Hey @delaneytomlinson I was pretty intrigued by your Raptor tweak so I started a new save with Spartak Moscow to test it out. Nice work! It's an interesting one - there are times where the attacking movement doesn't quite seem to be clicking but at other times it is brutally and clinically effective. Some of the goals I've scored have been incredible and the interlinking of the inside forwards with the striker and AMC is usually great to watch. It could be one of those tactics that wouldn't quite cut it with TFF's precise testing methods, for example there seems to be a high percentage of missed shots, but it's definitely working for me so far and the results are impressive. I think it's performing better in FM21 than the standard Raptor V4, Executioner, and possibly even Cerberus V5 so far. The individual player ratings have been quite good too.
I've made two further tweaks to yours - changing the left central midfield role back to the original CM (Su) of Raptor V4 and changing the AP (At) to a SS (At). These tweaks seem to have improved things slightly, though I think the SS vs AP might depend on who's playing there. SS seems to work better for Jordan Larsson, AP better for Kwon Chang-Hoon who's more of a midfielder than a forward. So I've been rotating these two tweaks depending on opposition and personnel.

Did you change the taker each time?
Same taker for first two, different taker for the last. Couldn't hit an elephant's bum with a banjo!
Next game I played saw three penalties, 2 scored one miss. Total of 7 pens over two games, scored 3/7.

Good call, might give that a go. I've definitely seen way more pens than in FM2020, and missing a large percentage of them this year. I wonder if this is something that needs to be tweaked...

anyone else seeing loads of missed penalties? Just missed three in one game lol

anyone signed Scottish starlet striker Michael Ruth from Aberdeen? I've had a few saves in FM2020 and never really noticed him, but he's absolutely killing it in my journeyman save at Hearts! Signed in 2022 for only £525K and now worth £10million.

I think it'd be a real struggle early with Australian talent limited but would make a really good save
I've started a save and it's been quite enjoyable so far. I think the fact that you can assemble the entire squad from scratch in a decent amount of time makes them a good choice for a 'Moneyball'-style save - the domestic pool is so limited that I'm buying players based on selected attribute values and stats that will hopefully fit the formation. Decent amount of money in the bank though, but the wage budget is of course quite restrictive
I might post some career updates if the save sticks!

seriously thinking about starting a save with Macarthur FC. Probably be a real struggle in the short-term but could be a fun one!

Yes, got one player that I think could turn out decent, and another I'm 50/50 on. Long way from the first team however.
Nice one. I'm not getting many good prospects with Parma - their youth facilities are pretty average so I'll need to spend some $$$ on that!

Looking like our first intake could be decent as well! Very intrigued by the young Italian GK from Turin
@Stu_UBJ has the new intake arrived yet? Looks intriguing! Congrats on the promotion too. A truly historic club and the kits are wicked!
Things are starting to get a bit troubled in what was starting to look like a potential Parma paradise.... After a great start to the season form has dipped and we're on a run of straight defeats. We're clinging on desperately to a narrow lead and a lot of clubs are showing a serious upturn in form. To make matters worse, Palacios is playing out his skin but is now attracting a lot of attention of big clubs. It's the January 2022 window, Bayern have just made a 56million quid bid for him and I just realised he's got a 64million release clause. ****!

@2481 With how the January transfer window went, most of my main targets will be unavailable in the first few years
Bruno Guimaraes is one of them.
Yeah, I was happy I started this save before March
I'd never really heard of Guimarães until I stumbled upon him in this save. Palacios is away to Leverkusen as well, so that's him off the menu after the DB update too. Bummer!
@Ronaldo Beckham that's a good point as well.

Delighted to see Cortés is going so well for you! Hasn't quite been that good for me at Kaiserslautern, however I have faith
Going well with Parma, looking forward to seeing the return of the days of when I watched Football Italia, with Crespo, Baggio (Dino), Asprilla, Brolin and Buffon!Keep the faith for sure - he's been an absolute hero for Parma and Crespo's constantly bigging him up in the press
I think he's probably my favourite FM/CM striker since Cherno Samba. He's started moving into channels a lot more and creating goals, there's definitely a winger-esque quality about him at times. I'm trying to rebuild Parma to be similar to that Football Italia-era team. Cortés is certainly the Crespo equivalent. I'll be on the lookout for an Italian wonderkid goalie and a tricky Colombian forward for sure
Here are my Season 3 first window transfers - squad building went well with ￡25M to spend. As with the last 2 seasons, most of these transfer fees were half up front and half in instalments. I'll most likely be relatively skint next season but hopefully won't have to bring many new players in.
Bruno Guimarães looks great and will partner Exequiel Palacios in central midfield - they complement each other perfectly. Aáron Martin is the new first-team left-back and Sebastiano Luperto will play alongside Luis Abram in central defence with promising youngster Lukas Mai providing cover. Bruno Zapelli is being retrained as a left inverted winger so it will be a while before he gets a regular game. Sebastiano Esposito returns on loan to provide competition for the ageing Inglese alongside young Liverpool loanee Rhian Brewster. I wish I could have cancelled Cornelius's pre-arranged transfer - he's a carthorse! I hope to sell him in the January window.
We're currently top of Serie A after winning all six of the opening fixtures - the recent acquisitions have definitely added a new level of quality compared with last season. Here's hoping they keep it up.

@2481 Did you try to persuade Bruno against retirement? In real life he doesn't seem to be thinking of retiring.
Nope, he's served his time in the trenches so I let him retire peacefully
Parma Season 2 Update (2020-21)
Serie A: 3rd
Coppa Italia: Semi-final (beaten 7-3 on aggregate by Juventus)
Europa League: Final (beaten 5-2 by Chelsea)
Players In: Exequiel Palacios (River Plate,￡5.25M), Filip Stevanovic (Partizan Belgrade, ￡2.7M), Sondre Rossbach (Odd, ￡1M), Jessim Pellisard (FCSM, ￡600K), Sebastiano Esposito (Inter, loan)
Marquee signing Exequiel Palacios joined us for a modest fee and soon established himself as the focal point of the team in centre midfield. Rossbach was originally signed as cover but eventually usurped Sepe as first-choice goalkeeper. Stevanovic and Pellisard are ones for the future, only featuring in a handful of games over the season.
Season 2 went really well, despite some absolute floggings here and there. Results went our way on the final day of the season meaning we finished 3rd, a considerable distance behind Juventus and Napoli who were unsurmountable up the top of the league. Napoli beat us every single game in Serie A this season, but we dispatched them 5-4 on aggregate in the Europa League to reach the final - only to be hammered by Chelsea. Overall though, a great performance from the squad but we really struggled depth-wise from the extra European fixtures. League form dipped considerably as the European run continued - we were actually top of the league at one point but a run of terrible form saw us drop right down.
Brandon Cortés continued to flourish, finishing as top scorer with 34 goals from 47 appearances in all competitions. Obando proved to be a solid replacement for Kulesevski on the right, notching 18 assists. Palacios was the best player overall with an average rating of 7.71 and he's now valued at ￡40M!
Squad and Transfers:

@2481 Very interesting that you didn't sell anybody, considering the age of the squad. I liked your approach in squad building, as it resembled what I usually tend to do as well. I rarely use instalments though for incoming transfers.
From your recollection, who were the best players/performers in the first season? Anybody surprising you compared to their suggested attributes?
What's your plan for the second season? Is there an option on Hernani to make it permanent?
Yeah I decided against flogging off the older players this time around. Instalments are great when you've got limited funds but are pretty dangerous in the long term as you can totally cripple your next season's transfer budget! Best performers in the first season were Kulusevksi for sure, Bruno Alves (played really well right up to retirement), Pezzella, Inglese and Gervinho. Cortés was also impressive despite a slow start.
My plan for the second season was to bring in some more under-19 players and continue to develop Cortés and Obando. Obando is the replacement for Kulusevski so he's got some big boots to fill. Hernani didn't really feature much in the first season so he went back to his parent club - Brugman, Grassi and Kucka performed better. A really good centre mid was a top priority for season two, particularly with Kucka getting on a bit age-wise.
I've finished the second season now - update coming soon

@2481 Welcome! Finally another Parma save I can follow
I just bought the game, but haven't installed it yet. Won't play my Parma save until after the Winter Updates, though. With Darmian and Kulusevski leaving I think
Does one of the 3 new signings have EU passports?
Can I have a look at the transfer history and the current squad screen with the first season selection info (apps, goals etc)?
Nice one mate! Kulusevksi was amazing in the first season, no chance of me signing him permanently at this stage though. Yup, Luis Abram has an Italian passport.
I'm now almost finished the second season and don't think I have a screenshot of the first season stats unfortunately. I'll post the second season stats for sure though.
Here's the transfer history for season one though. All players were signed for around￡1.2 million plus decent instalment add-ons, to get around the limited first season budget.

Hello folks, @quee encouraged me to get in on this thread! Currently managing my favourite Italian club Parma, trying to build them back up to the force they were in the mid-90s. I'm focusing on youth development, investing in younger players that will develop into Serie A quality over a few seasons rather than signing more established older players. I'm currently almost finished season 2, but here's a quick retrospective on the first.
Season 1 Update (2019-20)
Serie A: 5th
Coppa Italia: 4th Qualifying Round (knocked out by Perugia)
First season went much better than expected, with us just scraping it into Europe on the last day of the season and claiming the final Europa League qualifying slot. Only three players were signed - one for the first team in Luis Abram (solid, left-footed Chilean centre back) and two promising Argentinians in Brandon Cortés (striker) and Agustin Obando (inverted winger). Neither of the two youngsters was expected to stake a claim for a first-team place but Cortés was outplaying Cornelius by the end of the season and became a regular in the side, scoring an impressive 12 Serie A goals in 24 appearances. Roberto Inglese, as expected, was the club's top scorer with 22 goals in 36 Serie A appearances.
Biggest signing of the season was possibly Head of Youth Development Bernhard Peters, who will be integral in bringing through talent once I've improved youth facilities up to a competitive standard. Peters' stats are amazing, and he is a Model Professional.
Europe next season and a bit more money to spend means the squad can be upgraded, but I plan to do this steadily and build success around the current side.

Brandon Cortés of Boca Juniors is well worth a look. He moved to Orlando City for £2.3m in 2020, before moving to Spurs for £7m. Another Argentinian superstar
Sorry, I only have 5th season screenshot of him - he's joining my Kaiserslautern side on a free
@Stu_UBJ - Thanks for the heads up on Cortés! He's a very intriguing player, in my game he was "dubbed the next Batistuta" and then "the next Ramon Diaz".
Some of his starting stats seem to be random and start off fairly low but he develops very quickly with exposure to first team football. I signed him for Parma and although his first few performances were poor, he's become an integral part of the first team and has formed a great partnership with Inglese. Here's a screenshot of him 9 games into his second season. He ended up scoring 12 league goals in 24 appearances in his first season - very solid indeed.
Dare I say it: he reminds me quite a lot of 2001-era Cherno Samba!
