Credit to the Yacs skin from Fm20 for the header. Also @gimn for the manager details section bottom right. Just a personal skin, not for sharing. But cleaned it up a little over the past few days.

I have come up with this instead. Works really well. 29 clear cut chances in 7 games so far. Watching the movement map is very interesting, team moves up the field as a unit and back as a unit.

OP edit to add in pi/ti

I am no expert on this subject of the Hungarian sides of the 50's but saw a few clips the other day of Puskas and wanted to put my take on the tactic they used. In terms of shape it is not the easiest as most videos I could find were just clips of the goals, but doing a bit more work scouring the internet I found some very handy guides to give me a rough idea on the shape they played. This really isn't for the faint hearted , you will get hit on the counter a lot and I mean a lot. However, in lots of games it was a joy to watch the passing and moving off the ball and it is one of the few setups I have created where the player through on goal actually seems to look for the pass rather than scoring (and no they didn't have that trait ) Although it seems from some of the articles I browsed through, that they used the defence in the layout below , In terms of FM23 and I have tested this but it wasn't as reckless and fun a 3 CB system works much better. This is mainly dues to the Full Backs naturally holding there shape out wide, yes you can try and deter that a little with a IWB(de) but again it wasn't as creative going forward as the full backs just seem to lump it forward rather retaining possession. Moving onto the midfield , I tried lots of different variations such as using Wide Midfielders instead of wingers but they just lacked that creative spark needed in this tactic. The two Shadow Strikers work wonders , I had an 18y/o Norwegian (not a wonderkid but decent nonetheless) score 30 goals from the left side of the two AMC positions. The main creative pivot actually comes from the Central Midfielder on Attack, whether a Roaming Playmaker would work better is another story entirely as I think you would lose the attacking potency. In conclusion , you need nerves of steel to use this tactic but in the end it is just a bit of fun and creates so many chances as shown below. Just a few of the games I have played , I have used it a lot more since this. As you can see below, it can be very effective. Please feel free to carry on the discussion below , I would like to hear other peoples interpretations of this tactic or other old team tactics. Please don't take this too seriously it is just my own personal setup for the tactic they used.

Player Overview Update.

Update:

My latest player overview attempt. Thanks @GIMN and @JustHowie for pointing me in the right direction.

ok will give it a go. I have that link in my bookmarks, should have checked there first.

Quick question regarding layouts, so I am just now getting my head around creating a panel layout using the vertical and horizontal layouts and getting the information showing up in the boxes. Here in lies my issues: s it in the case of the screenshot and code below swapping over some of the vertical layout bits for horizontal so that the first 3 boxes(Name, Player Details and personal details), are 3 squares one on top of the other , rather than rectangles side by side. Once I get that bit sorted I can then split the next boxes with the attributes etc into sections.

I now see why people create separate xml files for each panel. It gets so messy when you are trying to do it on one xml file for one panel.

Manager Home draft 1 panel

My pc is about 5 years old as well.

i was trying to open it in word, bad idea, so opened in notepad++ and was fine.

it is the example.ltf file I was meant to open?

Brilliant thank you. It nearly crashed my computer opening the text file.

Is there anywhere to find the list of translation_id numbers , I am trying to get the headings for pros and cons. thank you.

slight update to it.

Is it possible to have the sidebar buttons setup like the tabbar , so horizontal rather than vertical along the top or is it hard coded too look like it does?

Gonna put this on my coffee skin , really like it.

Simple and Clean Just need to work out how to add World Rep star rating under potential.

Nice too finally have a decent understanding of the layouts of a panel. Still a lot to learn though. The attached thread is great for anyone wanting to start on creating a panel of their own. 2nd attempt at player overview.
