@knapI have a few questions given some of the comments above re ME changes and mentality.
I have been using your tactics for 2 seasons, with Man Utd, winning the league both times, Europa League in S1 and QF of Champs League in S2.
i finally have the squad I want after 2 seasons of clearing deadwood. Best team/squad looks like this 4-1DM-2-2IF/IW-1
Diego Costa,
Dalot/Porro, Shaw/Guardivol, Varane/Silva/Scalvini/Martinez,
Casemiro/Bamba/Scalvini
Bellingham/Bruno Fernandes/Eriksen/Enzo Fernández
Rashford/Sancho, Assensio/Chuzeweke
Laurato Martinez/Leonardo
also have some strong youth prospects
Not married to this shape so could do 4-2-3-1 but prefer not to do DMC x2 with S.Vol role as don’t think I have the players for that and given my Centre Mids / AM C players I favour a couple in M C. So beowulf (which I have used a bit) is not really a long term formation for me.
anyway my question is that I’ve been using HGF451IWp106ALLCups and also PARIS4231P102ECC (if want to play AMC). All ME23.1 versions.
but have been conceding a LOT of goals and not winning easy games, eg 3-3 vs Leciester, next week 7-3 win vs Leeds, then lose 3-0 vs Liverpool, then beat Man City 2–0 followed by 3-0 win vs Juve then lose 3-1 to Newcastle
so I suppose my question and reading the above is if you think (after playing around with it more) is ME23.1 is more suited to balanced and if you will be bringing out a 4-1-2-2IF/IW-1 or 4-2-3-1 IF type formation with this. I like scoring lots of goals but the conceding is infuriating and also conceding lots of penalties!
also do you recommend rotating formations for home and away
finally off topic but do you know if FM touch (which is what I am playing) has tactic familiarity just we cannot see it? Worried about chopping and changing formations!
super confused after 2 seasons of relative success and seeing your stats for your tactics it doesn’t make sense to me!
