They will play players out of position and play the same 11 all season, barring injuries, unless you do it manually. It's really poorly implemented.

I search for players based on the attributes suggested for the role in the tactic and then add the odd one to the search. All about good physicals and mentals, if you can find players you can afford that have those and talent you will smash everyone. SK - Best you can get. FB's - Suggested + Acceleration and Determination. BPD's - Suggested + Acceleration, Determination and Height of 6' or above. DM's - Suggested + Pace, Acceleration and Determination. AM - Suggested + Pace. Acceleration, Determination and Stamina. IF's - Suggested + Determination. AF - Suggested + Determination. Other good ones are, work rate, bravery, teamwork and jumping reach if you are trying to choose between a few players. The numbers required will depend on the level you are at, for Rangers at the start of my save I ideally use 13 as a base, although 12 will do, and then improve from there. English Premier League for instance you could probably start at 14/15 and win everything a lot faster But yeah, the most important for any position outside GK are Pace and Acceleration then good mental stats. I've been using that formula for as long as I can remember.

Sure, the squad has a lot of regens at this point so you won't be able to sign those. Just need to be clever early on with your signings and sales. I still have Devine, King, Lowry, and Yilmaz from the original squad, which is nice. I've attached my transfer history as well.

Hi, it's not my tactic, it's Knaps and you can find it at the link below. I have attached my Waste Time tactic for defending narrow leads in the last ten minutes and my Save Energy version I use when 3 or more up in easier games to avoid injuries and bookings. I also recommend the Save Energy version when you get a strict ref and are committing too many fouls. Waste Time.fmf Save Energy.fmf

Yup, home and away. No changes unless hanging on to a narrow lead in the last ten minutes, I have a 2nd version of the tactic that changes the DM's to HB's and adds Frequently Waste Time, Slow Pace Down, Hold Shape and Regroup. I also have a save energy and avoid bookings version of the original in my 3rd slot, this just has stay on feet added and ease off tackles on all players, I deploy this when 3-0 up in easy games to avoid injuries and suspensions. After 8 seasons I have now won, 8 League Titles, 7 Scottish Cups, 8 League Cups and 4 Champions Leagues as well as a World Cup and a Euros with Scotland.

The success with EF 4231 SLO V2 P MC P109 ALL CUPS just keeps rolling along.

EF 4231 SLO V2 P MC P109 ALL CUPS is still working it's magic. Quintuple in 2030 and a 3rd Champions League in 4 years. That's 7 League titles, 7 League Cups, 6 Scottish Cups, 3 Champions Leagues and 2 Super Cups in seven seasons with Rangers. Plus a World Cup and a Euros with Scotland. I think I'll stick with 4-2-3-1

EF 4231 SLO V2 P MC P109 ALL CUPS works pretty well . That's World Cup 2026, Champions League 2027 and EURO 2028 using your tactics. I've settled on 4231 being my favourite shape and when I saw the 99.5% score for this on Google Sheets I thought I'd give it a go.

Having won the World Cup in 2026 with Scotland using the 4-2-3-1, I switched to 4-2-4 (EF 424 XB MC P98 ALL CUPS), then this happened in 2027. Thanks Knap

Won the 2026 World Cup with Scotland using WOFKnap 4231 MC P103 ALLCUPS. I'm not seeing any issues with using attacking mentality

If they would just add being able to rest players between games so I don't have to rotate my outfield ten every game, that would be nice.

Yet another injury to a Goalkeeper, all three 1st team GK's have had two injuries each and it's only October. They have all had a fractured arm during a match.

Across my 5 seasons so far my best is 33, followed by 26, 20, 16 and 15. I am Rangers mind you so other than away to Celtic or English teams in Europe, defeats are rare.

Here's one, I have another two with fairly consistent. So if you have none it's just bad luck.

I came to post about this. As Scotland I am only allowed 23 players at the 2026 World Cup, all other nations have 26 man squads.

Sorry I mean to say that it is still incorrect in the game. I am only allowed three when it should be five.

This is still the case in the World Cup qualifiers, just three being allowed in the rules.

I have played quite a lot of hours, finally had time. First off I notice that the 'always ignore' option for assistant advice during matches still does nothing, must be three years that has been in game and not working as intended. Secondly offsides referred to VAR , you know before the decision appears on screen because the celebrating players pump fists in the air if the goal stands and don't if it's disallowed. I am however loving the game, I think the ME is brilliant this year and I am having a blast.

Hi Neil. Do the Chinese clubs still make massive bids for players? Just wondering if its worth adding in my own save.

They are yes.

I love the game and spend a lot of hours on it every year. But as mentioned earlier in the thread, please add the ability to rest players between International fixtures. Having to change your outfield ten every game is not helpful. Also will the "always ignore" option for assistant advice in matches actually work this year?
