Great post - the only thing I can say

I'm using 442 with Kaiserslautern. Very happy with my results: Every season it was different 442. From Cautious mentality with counter-attacking football...with Target man: Now it is more about fast attacking football. Sometimes I change player roles (for example BBM to BMW (S), F9 to DPF(S). If I see that I have space to attack - Pass into space. If my opponent play narrow formation - I change width and play wider. Focus play down the right/left - If I see, that I have a chance to attack the side where my opponent has IWB. In general, I'm very happy with 442 in FM24. At least in Bundesliga it works.

Ohhh, my favourite 442... The only question - why do you use "Slightly lower tempo" in the first tactic?

Hey! Happy to see your new tactic! Your 442 was great - logical and simple. I created something close in FM 23, but I use 2 DM. Just wanted to ask what do you think about wide playmaker in FM23? Are you happy with his statistics? Assists, key passes? I was not happy with WP role and decided to change it for IWs, but my player has trait "tries killer balls".

Do you use this tactic in every match? How do you adapt this tactic when you play, for example, away game with Liverpool? With Mid-table teams? For me, this setup is too risky for every game usage. You are using positive mentality. Left flank: IWa and WBa and DMs as cover for two attacking players...Sometimes it will work, for example, in home game. But when you play away game it could give you some problems. In combination with agressive pressing. Maybe you should try to make small tweaks in away games or also at home, when you observe some problems. Small tweaks could help you to reduce draws and maybe not to loose in away games with TOP teams.
