    End of season update, having run the whole season from pre to post with v1.1

    First up: Premier League champions - our second title in seven seasons, and at the end a comfortable victory as Man City took just 5 points from their last 5 games to finish 7 points off the pace, having led for 27 of the 33 rounds prior. Still, we took 40 points from our last 14 games - ultimately an irresistible run of form. We were top scorers with 102, and had the 3rd best defence with 30.

    We also added our final missing trophy as we claimed the FA Cup for the first time, beating Man City 3-0 in the final. After coming close a couple of times before, this was a stroll in the May sunshine; City had a player sent off late on, but by that point we'd already used all our subs to allow ever-presents Winks, Dier and Davies to add one more winners' medal to their collections.

    PSG knocked us out of the CL at the semi-final on away goals. We only scored 2 own goals all season but, this being FM, one of them came in this tie, at home, in the second leg :mad: We also badly missed the injured left wing pair of Ryan Sessegnon and Jadon Sancho, who between them were responsible for 33 goals and 19 assists across the season. As I've previously found, wingplay is important to this system - as well as Sancho and Sessegnon, Jarred Bowen and Kingsley Coman delivered 16 goals and 16 assists from the right. Barceloanee Manuel also delivered 3/1 in just 9 appearances.

    But goals and assists came from all over the team - Harry Kane and Troy Parrott delivered 39/9 up front between them, which I thought was a pleasing return given that in previous seasons the formation hasn't favoured strikers too much. Our midfielders delivered 34 goals and 32 assists. Our fullbacks delivered 10 goals and 36 assists (fullbacks picking up opposing wingers is definitely a consistent theme), and our centrebacks had 22/6 with Matthijs de Ligt and regen Vincent Tumber both featuring in our top 10 scorers with 16 between them.

    Our goalkeepers did okay - Nubel as our senior keeper kept 22 clean sheets in 44 appearances, conceding 31. His deputy, a regen signed from Ajax, played 19, conceded 11 and kept 10 clean sheets. I have no worries over either of them, but in an awful lot of matches we pummelled teams so badly they had little or nothing to do - so both ended up with ratings in the 6.8s.

    Onwards to next season and more MiNiMaL FuSS... but first a close season where I try and bring myself to start letting our ageing squad rejuvenate as 11 of the 23 are 29 or older. Even discounting a couple who have plenty of miles left, it wasn't the best bit of long-term planning to have a 1/3 of my squad age out at the same time. Still, given the success we've had along the way, it's hard to feel I've erred too badly - and I do have a season or two left in most of them... I hope!

    Thank you for the story of another season :)

    I'm using the Beowullf 4-2-4 (with 140 goals) with a lot of success mate. I sold practically everyone so you can get a fair bit of money that way to add another striker etc to the team

    Didn't test yet on a top league but this tactic works really good for lower leagues.

    My second term with Boston Utd. for the lower leagues, you just need to find some decent free transfers.

    My Vanarama North results with Boston Utd. Media prediction was 8th.

    I didn't use any OI or man marking, but watched the matches and used shouts properly. "Demand More, Praise and Show Some Passion" are the key shouts. Start using them after like 15 mins of every match.

    Not much transfers, added 2 free agents to squad and they did very well. even I lost my decent right back to a Scottish Ladbrokes League 1 side :)

    Thanks Knap. you are doing really well. I guess most of the people, who follows this thread, asking about "which tactic is the best". The answer is "there isn't only 1 option" for me. Almost all of them working if you find the correct players and squad harmony.

    Anyone else used this tactic? If so, how have you fared so far please? 

    Did some tests on my "every new season, try a new team and a new tactic" journey at FC Porto in 2022-2023 season. didn't make big transfers. Plug and Play mode. Even if the Portugal League is not a good test environment, results are a bit funny.

    PS: I cut the results when I tried something different at the start of season + during 2022 world cup friendlies.

    The things I noticed:

    - Nice attacking tactic but have problems in defence.

    - Left striker scoring too much even if his stats are ****, being good option to sell him on decent amount of $.

     

    Testing on a top league could be better to get the exact results.

  5. Tested your tactic in Turkish Super League with Fenerbahce. Media prediction was 2nd for us.

    - I almost never went on holiday.

    - Never used OI. Tried all team talks as your suggestions + match shouts.

    - The key players were inside forwards. Coz of the financial status, I couldn't make big transfers. Loaning Vinicius Junior for 2nd half of the stage did a bit help.

    Thanks for sharing this "realistic and good football" tactic o/
