Are you sure they're not assigned to handling transfer targets anyway? It might be in a different part of the Responsibilities section.
Unfortunately I do all my own purchases and almost all of my sales so I've never come across this before.

At present we can hide players in our squad by certain categories - it would be great if these were expanded. Some obvious ones are inverting current categories, so being able to hide players on short-term deals as well as those on long-term deals (or who only have contracts expiring within a certain range), and hiding those who do need to be registered, as well as those who don't. Some others might be excluding only players who're suspended, or injured, or only red injured, or only inside/outside a certain age range.
It would also be great to be able to create filters - to add tags to players and be able to filter by those tags. For example, I'm entering a summer transfer window and have over 20 players I'm looking to sell. It would be great if I could add tags to those players and only have them in view - rather than scrolling back and forth through the 80 players I have across the first team and youth squads.

I'm at the end of the season, and looking ahead to the summer transfer window. I've had some success in previous windows with offering players at a low price and negotiating up, but I've not been able to clear everyone out, and now I have quite an accumulation of talent coming back from loan who aren't part of my plans. Between the loan army, first team players and reserves who have limited potential I have around 25 players I'd be willing to sell. I do get that selling so many in one window is going to be tricky!
So, before starting the window, I wanted to check on if I was missing anything obvious - I have a week until the English window opens, and a month until the European window opens. Should I be offering players out now, or wait until the window(s) open? If I offer a player out too many times, will their value drop - I've noticed that in previous windows, but I'm not sure if it's related? If I offer out too many players at once, would that effectively flood the market, or does the game not take that into account?

Quick update: Playing as Middlesbrough, reigning PL/CL champions but a bit of a shaky start to the follow season, including losing 7-1 to City in the league!
Swapped to this tactic and after 18 matches we've 17 wins and 1 draw where we outshot the opponent 23-10. Our aggregate score for those 18 matches is 66-10. The first match using it saw us beat City 4-0, which was definitely a convincing argument to stick with it!
It definitely seems like a great tactic to use for teams with strong attacks, and my defence seems a bit tighter, having come from a Beowulf 442 with two box-to-box midfielders. Fantastic work, as always!

I signed a young midfielder a couple of seasons ago. He's not developed as well as I'd hoped, and is now no better than a backup... but PSG wanted to sign him, so come the summer I offered him for sale.
They didn't bid for him. He wasn't happy I was touting him out for sale. Now I've had to promise him that he won't be sold - a promise I have to keep until next summer's transfer window close. From past experience, he may change his mind if the right club comes in for him, or he may not.
But my issue is that there was no way for me to know if he'd get upset about my trying to sell him to PSG. In hindsight, I could have targeted them specifically with the offer, but it didn't occur to me at the time.
What would be nice is if there was an option to broach the subject of transfers with a player/players before a transfer window opens. Maybe at the end of the season team meeting have an option to say "I know that some of you are attracting interest from other clubs. If you'd be interested in a move, or don't want to leave, please let me know."
Otherwise, an option to speak directly to the player (or their agent) and say "PSG, Barcelona and Real Madrid are interested in buying you. Would you be open to moving?" Maybe have context-sensitive options so you can say "I know this would be a great opportunity for you/I know this could be your last change for a big move/You're an incredibly valuable player and we need the money etc."
We do get a skeletal form of this with the agent's opinion when you go into the transfer offer screen, but it's not always reliable - especially as the player can change their mind depending on the clubs who bid and what the bidding teams offer them.

TL;DR Middlesbrough FC - Double winners! All hail ME23.1BEOWULFKnapBALTIGD424IFBBMP101ECCC!
SpoilerI made the switch to this tactic from variations of the 2xDM/Segundo Volante tactics towards the end of last season. We were hammering teams on xG, but not scoring enough, and we suffered early exits in both domestic cups. I figured that playing a slightly less defensive tactic might help - and it did! 4 wins from the last 6 was enough for us to limp to 6th, and with Liverpool winning the CL we got the second extra qualification spot.
We started the 28/29 season well, with 4 wins in a row. We then lost to Wolves 3-1 (one of just two losses by more than one goal domestically) and Man Utd 3-4 having led 2-0 and 3-1. But then we won 16 of the next 17 and amassed a huge lead at the top of the table, 13 of those wins coming by 2+ goals as we routinely blew other teams away.
Part of that was down to the talent I've amassed so far - Marcos Leonardo picked up in 2023 and Yousouffa Moukoko in 2026 were well-established, and had 33 and 32 goals respectively by the time we clinched the title. Brazilian newgen Celso Jung, in his first season after a 17.5m move, also scored 32 goals. Cole Palmer, signed for 41m from City in 2027, added 20 goals from the right wing while his Brazilian newgen understudy Sidney and veteran centre back Joachim Andersen both notched 12 times... Sidney with a bit more flair compared to Andersen's thumping headers at set pieces.
We were unfortunate to lose to Leicester in the league cup, having scored in the first minute and dominated, but getting undone by clinical finishing in a rare poor display from our attack.
We clinched the title at home to Newcastle with a 3-0 win, which was no doubt especially sweet for the fans - even the team seemed to perk up at the idea of giving the fans something to cheer during my team talk, which may have been a first!
In the FA Cup we reached the final against Man United, who did the double over us in the league with a 3-1 win the match after we clinched the title. It was time for revenge in the final, though - despite going behind twice, we made it 2-2 late on and kept up the pressure, getting our reward on penalties as all 5 of our takers buried to make Middlesbrough the FA Cup winners as well!
We did well in the Champions League, too, topping the table with 10 more goals scored than anyone else and reaching the quarter-final. There we lost out to Liverpool after they knocked us out at the semi-final stage last year. Gallingly, they overcame a first leg deficit when our left back got his only red card all season, and Liverpool's star striker put us to the sword - only the second time all season we'd lost by more than one goal, in spite of having better xG in both matches. I *hate* Liverpool - despite Klopp leaving for Newcastle, their slumping to 8th in the table and *still* having Alisson, Robertson, van Dijk, Fabinho and Salah all starting in their mid-30s, our record against them is atrocious. They didn't even start Victor Osimhen, who's normally been good for a goal a game against us throughout the save. Just a pack of utter wasters, and even having fallen down the table they've made the CL final so could be back in it next season.
Thanks, knap! This one was just what the doctor ordered for my side, once I had the courage to try a tactic for a PA160 side rather than keep thinking that we were underdogs even after qualifying for the CL 4 seasons in a row...

Having been unexpectedly promoted in season 1 thanks to one your tactics, knap, I now might unexpectedly be in Europe in season 4. I don't think I quite have the squad depth to sustain a CL push, but with United, Chelsea and Newcastle all between 8th and 11th there are spaces open and it's not beyond the realms of possibility that we might be facing continental opposition next season. Quite how the board will react given that that I was given a three year target to finish midtable, I can only imagine!
Turns out I did, in fact, have the squad depth: Sticking with ME23.1BEOWULFKnap424IFVOLHDMUP102EC and come season's end we finished 2nd in the Premier League! And that's with a side predicted to finish midtable in the Championship 3 seasons ago, with a net spend since then of less than 50 million pounds, and still starting some decidedly ropey players! My budget for the upcoming window is 70 million pounds - although how I'm supposed to improve on my team when a bogstandard defender like Marc Guehi costs 48 million is something that's going to take a lot of scouting...
My last post was after the last match of 2024, a 2-2 draw with Chelsea where they equalised in stoppage time. We drew our next two as well and lost the following match for a run of 4 without a win, but after that our form improved again with just 2 losses (away at Man United where we came back from 3-0 down to 3-2, and at home to runaway champions Liverpool where we had a player sent off at 2-0 and still pulled it back to 2-1). We didn't exactly dominate teams, but did record 9 wins with a winning margin of 3 or more goals. Of our 7 defeats, only 2 (champions Liverpool and 4th placed Arsenal, both away) were by more than a single goal. What we did tend to be was clinical, hitting at or above our xG in most matches. One of my best players being up front helped there (21 goals/8 assists in 41 matches) but the other two strikers had 13/2 in 33 and 18/6 in 38 and they're both Championship level players, according to the coach reports.
For context, my coach reports for my squad are as follows: Good/Decent Premier League player - 5/2; Leading/Good/Decent Championship player - 2/8/3; Good/Decent League One player - 2/2; Leading League Two player - 1
70 million won't turn all those sub-PL players into Champions League players... but with a few of the weakest players being out of contract this summer and Real Madrid tracking an expendable midfielder who might add 30 million to the coffers, we might just be in a position to pick up some points in the CL next season.
One note that I know has been discussed on here is the rate at which players pick up bookings. This seems to be a match engine issue which SI are looking into, without very much likelihood of resolution. My team had the top 3 spots for most yellow cards (20, 14, 13) across the season, plus another 3 players on 10 each. Small wonder, then, that we had 139 yellows in total - Wolves were second with just 86. But we only got 2 red cards all season, less than 8 other teams. With 793 fouls we were more than 100 ahead of West Brom in second, who had the most red cards (9) but only 77 yellows. Our tackle success rate was 72%, in line with the 70-78% range of the league as a whole, and our total of 859 tackles was second in the league overall to Brentford - who had the best success %age and 2nd fewest yellow cards. Perhaps I just need to sign/train better defenders so their tackles are cleaner! I did try adding the 'stay on feet' instruction for a couple of matches, but we still attracted multiple yellows and it coincided with the 4 match winless run so I dropped it. Perhaps if I do bring in a couple of better defenders I'll consider trying it again.

Next up is Man City, so probably nothing from that... but we're in 14th with a 14 point gap over Norwich in 18th, and we only need 2 points from our last 5 matches to be absolutely certain of safety.

Still using ME23.1BEOWULFKnap424IFVOLHDMUP102EC and I'm pleased to say that, not only did we survive comfortably, we've started the following season on a flyer. After 21 matches we're in 3rd place on 41 points compared to 16th with 44 at the end of last season. Partly that's down to better players (we signed a better DM and GK in the summer window + improving depth at ST and AML, after bringing in better defenders in January) but also having this tactic in play the whole season long means that we've scored big wins over weaker sides and haven't been outclassed against anyone bar Liverpool - and they have 60 points from 22 matches so they're outclassing almost everyone this season.
Data analysis confirms that this tactic is great for getting the ball in close to the opposition goal - either crosses/passes to the edge of the 6 yard box for a forward to finish off, or fast balls forward from the DMs/FBs to break the defensive line and send the strikers clear on goal, with about 30% of our assists coming from through balls. My 3 strikers have 29 in 62 appearances between them - not exactly Haaland figures, but there's another 24 goals from the rest of the team, including 8 goals from the wingers with them also often getting in on the act of poaching goals from close in. We're averaging 2.1 goals per game - 0.76 higher than the league average, and that gives us the second best attack in the league (Liverpool have 60 goals to our 44 and Arsenal's 43).

High DL but can be use with much higher DL , Standard or lower
Early days, but this is working very well for my newly promoted side in the PL - we struggled for the first 15 matches or so using a couple of 4231 variants (ME23V1BEOWULFKnap4231IFVOLP106FACC, which got us promoted, and ME23.1BEOWULFKnap4231IFVOLP103FACC). We tried ME23V1BEOWULFKnap424IFVOLP104ECFA which got us a few wins over the next 10 matches or so, but also had some late losses including a collapse in injury time from 3-2 to lose to Spurs.
Our first match with this tactic saw us lose 3-1 to Liverpool - no shame in that, and we did seem a bit more engaged. Since then we've played 7 times, including 5-2, 5-1, 5-1 and 5-0 wins, the last of those over Man Utd, who are struggling, but still have a fantastic squad. We lost 2-1 away at Chelsea, again no shame there, plus we had a red card and match sharpness issues (FM23 seems brutal for this - player sharpness nosedives if they go more than a week without a match, and we had almost 2 weeks before Chelsea; I should have put a friendly or two in there) but rebounded to beat Wolves 3-0. We followed that with a 2-1 loss at Southampton where we were by far the better side, but gave away two cheap goals at the start of the match and couldn't pull it back.
Next up is Man City, so probably nothing from that... but we're in 14th with a 14 point gap over Norwich in 18th, and we only need 2 points from our last 5 matches to be absolutely certain of safety. That's more than enough to build a platform for doing even better next season. Mid-table, here we come (hopefully!)

I'm playing as Cagliari in 2031 and have the U20 and U18 set to arrange friendlies for every week.
The U20 team often plays cup matches midweek, but on those occasions when they don't there's been no friendly organised. The U18s have no cup matches, and have played a steady 1 match a week, no friendlies other than those I've organised myself and the match against our youth candidates.
My senior team is in the Champions League as well as the usual cup competitions and it's hard to find time to reintegrate injured players and get them back up to match fitness, especially the younger ones who've outgrown the U20s but aren't ready to start more than the odd game along 9 or 10 senior players. Youth team friendlies are really useful for that.

Knap, just wanted to say thanks for creating all these tactics. I'm in my 9th season with Cagliari and have won 4 of the last 5 Serie A titles, plus a 2nd and 3rd place in other seasons. I've won 6 of the last 7 Coppa Italias, and am the reigning Champions League holders. I'm in January of 2029, and we've lost just 1 league match since May 2026 - we're on course for our 2nd unbeaten season in 3, albeit I'm not counting chickens just yet!
I've been using the Parisienne Walkways tactic for years now, and match after match after match it generates an overwhelming volume of chances that the opposition side just can't cope with. We currently have a +63 goal difference after 23 league matches, and were the only side to record 6 wins in the CL group stages.
So, great work!

Thanks, @Luke Hume,
I'd moved on from that point before I saw your reply, but it's happened in my most recent match and am sending a PKM and pre-match save as requested - the match is 'Milan v Cagliari' with a 93rd minute equaliser for Milan, the save file includes 'Cagliari (v02)'.

Not sure if the edits have been reviewed - just scored a 94th minute equaliser against Juventus which didn't show up on the highlights.

I'm four seasons into a Serie A game with Cagliari. I'm aware that there are restrictions on signing non-EU players and have mostly avoided doing so, except for picking up one Uruguayan teenager to try and comply with Cagliari's preference for signing Uruguayan players. Approaching the new season he was the only player in my senior/U20/U18 squad with a nonEU tag.
Mason Greenwood's contract was running out at ManU. Now, I'd tried to bring him in last summer on loan, but I'd hit the limit for nonEU players due to the Uruguayan. Greenwood went back to ManU and *cough* acquired Irish dual nationality as I kept a beady eye on his contract. As the season ends, my Cagliari team are the new Serie A and Coppa Italia winners and Greenwood agrees to join on a Bosman.
Problem: When I go to register him, he's flagged as non-eligible.
Now, I accept that this could be a consequence of my editing the save game to give Greenwood Irish nationality, and the game recorded him as non-EU last season so still thinks he's non-EU now even though we've ticked over into a new season. However, whereas before I could kick him back to ManU, this time around he's not for moving, not on a 5 year deal at 70k per week. Experimenting with the editor, I moved the Uruguayan to clubs in other countries but still Greenwood's flagged as ineligible. I also gave the kid a free transfer, but I still couldn't register Greenwood.
So, what can I do from here? Right now Greenwood's worth 35 million and my best striker - but I can't play him. When the registration window opens, he's ineligible, whether or not the Uruguayan is at the club. As I understand it, he has to leave the country as well as just the club, so I can't free transfer him (he's based in Italy) and no-one wants to buy him if I just put him up for sale.
Any suggestions? Will I miraculously be able to register Greenwood when the squad returns from their holidays? Do I have to loan him out to another side for a year and try registering him again next season? Or as I've seen suggested elsewhere, set up a deal where another club buys him and I immediately buy him back? Is this all SI's way of messing with me for using the editor?
EDIT: I transferred Greenwood out of my team and then straight back in again, and was able to register him without issue. This may have come about because the transfer was arranged 'last' season, i.e. before his contract expired.

I find it to be a chore to try and get as much useful information on screen as possible when looking at things like the squad view, shortlist or player search window.
Something that really doesn't help with this is how difficult it is to get columns to the size I want - and this is partly because some columns seem to have priority over others.
For example, I'm playing in Italy where I can sign one non-EU player a season. It's therefore important to know if a player is an EU national or not, so in the player search I have that column enabled. But the title for that column, EU NATIONAL, is twice the width of the information in it (Yes/No) so it takes up a disproportionate amount of space on the screen, and if I resize it and then auto-size the columns it always reverts back to full width. This is one example that's especially bad because the title for the nationality column is just NAT - which takes up a fraction of the width of the information in the column itself! Abbreviations are used sometimes when it makes sense (SEC. POSITION, for example) but not others (PREFERRED FOOT could easily be PREF. FOOT)
So it would be great if we could edit the column titles, or lock them once we're happy with their size.
Also, sometimes adjusting the width of one column means that a completely separate column adjusts as well - usually the far right column, as though I need AST to suddenly take up 10% of the screen, but the LAST 5 FT GAMES likes to expand and contract sometimes too - I guess because it's got a bar chart in it? Perhaps right-clicking/CTRL-clicking on the column title could highlight that column and make it the only one that adjusts when you drag on the borders?
Oh, and I know that there's a separate view available for this... But it would be fantastic if there was a way to expand the INF bar in my squad view to show all the information on a player - especially when they're on holiday and I'm trying to work out who's wanted, or I'm in the squad registration window and trying to work out who will and won't be in my squad for various competitions in the coming season.

The only change I can think of is the Zebre/Brazilian teams name fix.
I've just started a new season and conceded an equaliser in the 90th minute - again no highlight so the only thing I knew of it was seeing the final score.
EDIT: And now a 94th minute winner for me in a match - although as I was clock watching due to being down to 10 men I did actually see the score tick over in this one!
EDIT 2: 90+3 Juventus equaliser, no highlight.
EDIT 3: 90+3 3rd goal for us in a 3-0 win, shown without issue. 90+4 equaliser in 2-2 draw with Lazio, no highlight.
EDIT 4: 45+1 goal scored by Atalanta to take the lead, the highlight only showed the ball hitting the back of the net, then 90+1 winner for them with no highlight.
EDIT 5: 90+2 winner by Bologna, no highlight. 90+2 and 90+5 goals in a 3-0 win over Milan, both showing in the highlights.
EDIT 6: And a new one - 116th minute equaliser in the Coppa final, no highlights. We did get highlights for Juve's two goals in first half injury time, and my equaliser in second half injury time though.
EDIT 7: I went over a season without this happening, but here we are again - a 93rd minute winner against Dortmund.

I play on the full game rather than touch. I play with Only Commentary, replays only for goals, max speed between highlights.
Something I've noticed several times now is that goals scored during second half injury time aren't always shown in replays. Case in point, I've just drawn 1-1 with Juventus, playing as Cagliari, with their goal scored at 90+1 and no replay. I thought I'd got away with a great win - but in the time it took me to look from the text bar to the clock they scored and the match was over.
This doesn't seem to happen every time with 90+ goals - I've scored or conceded 10 this season, and I know at least some of these have been shown because I remember watching them. But whether it's confirmation bias or just that they're particularly memorable the ones that don't seem to show always seem to be ones that cost me points, vs Juventus just now but I seem to remember a late winner conceded earlier in the season as well.
Conversely, I can't remember a single time at all that any goal scored in normal time or first half injury time wasn't shown on replays.
I'm using v 21.4.0-1528944 (m.e v21.7.0.0) if that's relevant

Just wanted to add my support for this tactic. Playing as Cagliari in Serie A, predicted a bottom-half finish, I only signed DR/MR Luca Vignali to add to the existing squad.
We never had any particularly long winning streaks, but at the same time our worst runs were 2 defeats in a row, and a DLDD where the loss was to Juventus in the cup. We got revenge on Juve late on in the season, with overwhelmingly our best performance of the season coming in a 5-0 away win that was kickstarted by their referee panicking under a long throw and fumbling the ball into his own net, the only time I've ever seen that happen that I can recall. 4 goals and a 10 rating for Giovanni Simeone were the icing on the cake for that match!
For most of the season we were playing one match a week which surely helped with our squad not being overexerted. Only a few of our players finished above a 7 average, but our top three were centre back Daniele Rugani (a loanee from Juventus, sadly), trequartista Joao Pedro (8 goals and 15 assists in 35 appearances) and striker Giovanni Simeone (33 goals in 37 appearances). Thankfully Cagliari have talent up front! Most of the rest came in above a 6.8, which isn't terrible but isn't great either. Come season's end, though, that combination of decent squad performance and excellence in attack led to a second place finish, albeit 11 points back from champions Milan. Not bad, given I spent all season being asked if I was happy to avoid a thrashing on the rare occasions that we lost.
Fielding orthodox ML/MR players wasn't easy - trying to only sign Italian/home grown players as an added challenge made it that much more so! Nahitan Nandez is the only decent MR in the Cagliari squad, but he's also one of the best for either MC spot in this tactic. It's a challenge to find the right players as I head into my second season, to which can be added left backs capable of playing as an inverted wingback. Even with Champions League football as a draw, I suspect I'll be looking to the loan market to find the right players for those spots; Emerson from Chelsea looked ideal... but they'd already exceeded their maximum number of loans, and meeting his wages wouldn't be easy either.
Not having played a full season in Serie A in years, I was surprised by how many loans in and out there were - for Cagliari there were 7 players loaned in and 7 players loaned out from the first team squad. Bizarre!

I have every CM/FM going back to the original CM2, but depending on the version many of them no longer run on modern systems - I know FM06 doesn't run from CD due to outdated copy protection, for example, and I think a lot of the physical disc copies have similar issues.
For an old-school fix 01/02 is available as freeware to download - not without its own bugs, sadly, but it'll play without needing any disc. I don't know if a direct link is allowed, but it should show up easily enough if you search for it.

At their very best with this tactic/these tactics you'd expect the PF to get maybe 1 in 2 - I've played as Spurs for several seasons with Kane, Parrott and Haaland, and that's about the best I've got. It's the wingers who really get the goals in this tactic; Jarrod Bowen in my last season using 1.0.0 scored about 24 despite rotating heavily with Kingsley Coman. If I'd paid a little more attention I'd have played Bowen more and he'd have probably scored more, but I wasn't short of goals even with Coman misfiring.

Another season update from my Spurs game, now in May 2027.
Simply put, we won the League, Carabao Cup, FA Cup and Champions League - principally using v1.0.0.
After so long in-game, starting with a strong Spurs squad, having had the fortune to get Sancho, Bowen, Coman and Foden for (relatively) cheap and with previous success meaning that there's money to spend when I need to, I could say that it's not down to the tactic. However, I played the opening couple of months using (your version number neatness is my version number confusion) one of the v1.2 tactics and it simply wasn't delivering the same consistent performances. Perhaps it's confirmation bias, perhaps it's simply that over however many years I've used the tactic my players have become so used to it that even maximum tactical familiarity doesn't come close to how well they work in this formation... but 1.0.0 for my Spurs side just seems unbeatable. That's almost literal, as we only lost 1 match from October to the end of the season using it.
We won every match in the CL and set a record for goals in a season, scored the most goals and conceded the fewest in the league, had the most clean sheets, made a 30m transfer profit, picked up the most penalties without conceding any, were 17th for fouls, conceded just 2 goals from set pieces, had the highest fouls against by 99, the highest shots on target by over 100, most chances created, most goals from set pieces, most crosses completed, no red cards, 18th for yellow cards... Basically, we dominated.
I'll give the v2 tactics a go... but they really have a lot to live up to!

Hey knap, I've been using your ME23.2BEOWULFKnapC42314IFVBBMP104CC 4231 tactic with great success for several months now - looking in my tactics folder, I downloaded it in April! My team is the multi-time PL and CL champions with a load of cups won as well.
However, my team's form has become a bit patchy over the last season or so - I'm scoring fewer goals, and my goalkeeper is letting in a high percentage of shots on target - 8 from 19 shots in our last 5 matches, for example. We came second out in the PL for the first time in years, and this season we're 6th after 14 games with 27 points - albeit only 4 points off top.
I think part of it may be player turnover. We've moved on several established/veteran players in the last 18 months, replacing them with younger players, and the veterans we've kept around to mentor the youngsters have performed more poorly than I'd have hoped.
However, could you recommend another 4231 that I could try to see if that changes our fortunes, please? Having used your tactic for so long, my squad is entirely built around it - I have one natural DM so a tactic based around 2 CMs would be ideal, but a DM/CM combination could work at a push.
Thanks in advance!
