Puluzu

I feel like I have learned a lot stuff from them in the past though. I don't use P&P because to me coming up with your own tactics is a huge part of the game, but I've definitely taken some ideas from them before. And this trend of more attacking duties on tactics where people are winning the PL with Brighton in year 1 seemed like something I should understand even if I don't emulate it. It definitely feels like some sort of ME exploit. I am not emulating it right now and doing well, but I still feel like there's some lesson to be learned there.

I haven't read through the entire thread yet, but how have you guys liked CM/a so far if you've tried it? I'm in my first season of FM23 and went with Real Madrid for an easy save to start off. I've been using a midfield triangle of BWM(s) at DM, DLP(s) and CM/a. Valverde won player of the year (in Dec/Jan so six months into the save) even though he played second string to Milinkovic-Savic in that role haha. Both have been lighting it up with both goals and assists when I have Benzema as DLF(a) up front, but understandably the production was considerably lower with an AF upfront when Benz got injured and I played Rodrygo there. It's still good, but not "striker level good".

I haven't played since FM21 and was looking at some of the very succesful tactics from the download/share tactics topics and it seems like there's a huge amount of attacking roles compared to FM 19-21. I saw multiple ones with like 5-7 attacking roles. What's that about? Some of those tactics seemed very counter intuitive to how I understand the game. One thing I already did notice from playing is that AMR/L seem to track back better on an attacking duty than they did before. Vinicius Jr. (IF/a and IW/a) is leading my tackles per game with about 4,2 per 90
