hey @knap , since Attacking mentality seems to be working again after Balanced was best in FM23, do you recommend keeping Attacking for difficult or away matches or switching down to something like Balanced or Cautious?

118 goal differential

Hey @knap, took a few months off but back at it -- could you post your best Possession to dictate the match?

Cheers @knap, I've always been a fan of the shape of the Oxford tactics (good width in midfield, funnels attack toward center, etc), excited to see how this plays in my test!

@Sibbo I believe that's how it works, and I've been relying on the top HUB test tactics as well, so excited to see a non-424 look pretty dominant (I know it looks like 424 is the meta for this match engine now I just like a classic 4231 more!)

@knap any chance of running this through the HUB test? just ran a quick season sim and it seems extremely good (and obviously very similar to the leading 424 with VOLs just moved up the pitch, but wondering if that's the tweak that puts it over the top)

@knap any chance of running this through the HUB test? I'm liking the shape of it but wondering how it stacks up to what looks like the unbeatable 424s

I don't know why I never thought of using a Top 160 Home and Top 120 Away approach (even when playing as a top team) -- I like to keep the same formation in all tactics to make recruiting easier, and looks like there are 4-2-0-2-2s in both Top 160 and Top 120, so I'll try that out for a bit and see how things go!

happy new year @knap and friends! love this weird little community

^^ I second the HGF 451 P106, using it now and it looks to be the most consistent 451 by far. Also had success with the 41212 ND in an earlier save! The 424 DM from a few days ago is also a very strong tactic but I like the 451 shape a bit more.

I ran a vacation season or two and it seems to be a bit better (though obviously very similar) to the 424 with segundo volantes, which was the previous best.

Always liked the Oxford christmas tree tactics, will give it a go since like everybody else I've been having trouble finding some consistency in this ME.

Looks like this is the new leader according to the score in column N (which is what I usually use as a tie-breaker when comparing similar tactics) -- @knap, always been curious to hear how you decided on the weights of each input in the score formula, like how Points get a 0.64 weight while Goal Difference gets 0.3, less than half!

hey @knap with some of the apparent changes to the effects of mentality in this year's game, do you think the OG mentality matters guide is still a good flowchart to follow when managing in-game?

Hey @knap, know it might not play into the current double-pivot meta, but could you refresh one of your older 4141 or 4411 formations? Curious to see how they'd perform.
