I conducted a 5 season deep tactical analysis of Knaps Sympathy for the Devil tactic. The test was conducted under strict conditions of 5 seasons in the English prem where every club had a balanced squad of identical players. No transfer movements for the 5 seasons and squad kept relatively happy throughout. Here are the results. 190 games in total tested with an average of all 5 seasons given as well.

That sounds great so essentially then you would have two 5 year deep tactical analysis one theory one practical covering all bases and angles with in the one test environment really sorting out the tactics from the craptics 👍😜

That sounds like a brilliant idea. My suggestion would be a testing environment where all the teams have a full balanced squad of identical players. A global transfer ban for all clubs until 2024, instead of a 90 game holiday, I would propose a 5 season deep tactical analysis in a completely level playing field so that would be in the prem. 38 games x 5 which is much more realistic and comprehensive. Over 150 games in total. You would sim half a season at a time coming back to ensure the squad is happy and the assistant is given a new contract. Record comprehensive data at the end of each season and deliver for each tactic a full 5 year deep analysis. Of course it wont be the same as a human playing all the games so e.g you might find if a team wins the champs league and fa cup, the domestic season may dip where a human manager would have used rotation to better effect but it will still give you a concrete idea as to which tactic is best. Its not brain surgery, indeed common sense says that when the complete field is level then it can only become down to tactics. When Arsenal plays Arsenal. Who wins? The one with the best tactic of course! 🤣

Never seen that before

It will be released again in FM20. Needed a year off. Sorry

The press conference should take place in a proper news style arena with full graphics and the interactions could be more varied.

I want to try and maintain a balanced squad of around 25 players per squad and Villa have a lot of players to choose from. So I took paul mcgrath back to st. Particks Athletic and Dennis Mortimer to Coventry. Both Peter Withe and Brian Little were strikers. You have better strikers there. I will give you back Paul McGrath and Dennis Mortimor. I will decide what to do with Peter Withe later on as he only came to Villa later in his career. Brian Little may appear in a future update but I need to do some research on him as all players have to be fully researched first and then tested in game and at the moment I am concentrating on bringing the game out as soon as possible.
