BnadnerB Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Hello all, What would you say is the best tactics based thread/guide or post related to FM you have ever read? Something which made the penny finally drop or that you still relate back to even now. Very interested to hear peoples opinions on this! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilly1979 Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 The main ones for me are lines and diamonds and pairs and combinations 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feddo Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 (edited) I like stuff from @Ö-zil to the Arsenal! It's a nice combination of building a club and following the progress combined with really inside full information.

CARRERA Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 Lines and Diamonds. Eventhough it was written in 2015 or so, it is still up to date, especially if your looking for footballing principles and approaches. It was way ahead of FM in its state back then and is the most complete guide I’ve ever seen for FM on the internet. If you are specifically looking for current mechanics of the ME or the tactics creator of FM23 it might be outdated here and there, but it’s still worth reading. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidbarros2 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I would say lines and diamonds aswell. It's so good that can teach football principles to someone who doesn't even watch/like/know football.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJanitor Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Everything from SFraser (RIP). Was the best writer I ever saw here. Was in a time where there was really good energy regarding talking tactics (in general, not just here). Meet The System is my favorite: 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bosque Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 I have Lines and Diamonds printed to study it. Is a great great great book. It helps with real-life football too. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
axelmuller Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Lines and Diamonds. Everything I know about Football Manager tactics comes from that masterpiece. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robson 07 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Great contributors mentioned in this thread. WWFan THOG O-zil to the Arsenal Polite & respectful mention to the late SFraser too. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skora11 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Quite fancy reading a few of the ones posted but before I do would like to know how transferrable is the information from previous versions to FM23? Is what is discussed still relatable to FM23 and principles still, for the most part, the same? Or has there been just too much major changes to the ME that most of what is written is no longer applicable? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OP plug and play tactics don't because they exploit the ME, but tactics that "in theory" make sense apply to every version. You may need to adapt some concepts such as LOE and DL from older games but the principles remain the same. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
