Thanks Andros - to be honest, all of that makes complete sense. I just didn't have the intuition to see them issues. I actually think the low block was suggested by staff and I didn't change it back. I appreciate the tips!

I've been stuck in the past and played FM 19 for some years now because there is a plug-and-play tactic I enjoy, but it ultimately works so I can focus on the squad building and youth development stuff, which I enjoy a heck of a lot more. I've really tried to play the game the right way by creating a tactic myself to suit my players, and after initially going well, it's gone to the proverbial, and I'm on the brink of being sacked. I beat Bayern, Liverpool and Man United with this tactic; however, a recent defeat to bottom-of-the-table Everton, and it seems like I can no longer create chances! I've read the tactic-building guides and followed them, but there is always a point where things go awry, and I'm not really too sure how to get out the other end. I know this is being a football manager, and it's realistic, but I don't want to spend time tweaking tactics all the time; it isn't the parts of football manager I enjoy. So, I suppose I'd like to know what's wrong with this tactic? I'm sure there is something glaringly wrong, and I'd love to know what it is On another note, I'd also like to know. I created this tactic at the beginning of the season. Is it just that AI has figured it out? If this is the case, how often do tactics need to be changed? Also - is it counterproductive to completely start a brand new tactic during the season? I know that the plug-and-play stuff can be a little divisive, but honestly, I want to enjoy the squad-building, and youth development stuff again without having to reconfigure the tactics every 15-20 games.

Thanks Knap - I do appreciate it. Gone with the BEOWULF 4231 IF BBM DLP

Sorry to be annoying - new to this thread and slightly confused about finding the best tactic. Can somebody please point me to the best tactic for Chelsea?

Now I'm more familiar with FM22 and have a bit of time - I'm going to be giving this challenge a go! The lucky team is Poole Town FC. My Profile The Squad My squad is very light, I'm already looking forward to the youth intake just to add some bodies into the squad. Two fringe players on unattached contracts don't look as though they're sticking around and are not interested in signing a contract either so that leaves me even thinner. The positives though are there are some decent prospects in the team already and the overall age of the squad is pretty young. I also have Piero Mingoia, who is much better player than VNL South and is competent in all midfield positions, so hopefully he stays fit and he'll be a cracking player to build around. I'll update again when I get a youth intake in!
