Best Tactic in FM22

It has long been a dream of Football Manager players to know the best tactic. Everything equal, remove the million different qualifiers from what your wonderkids are good at to how fit your team is to what the board once and just make everything equal, then see which tactic wins. Well, good news, we have the best tactic in Football Manager 2022! The top five actually, as FMBase has remade a better version of their ‘tactic tester’ that subjects submitted tactics to a rigorous, completely level database to determine a winner.

It tests the tactics in two specialty categories as well, sub-average and underdog, to see which FM tactic might really help you survive the better teams or perhaps cause an upset against the big bully. You could use those tactics or watch me win the Champions League two years ago with BATE, because whatever tactic I used to beat PSG there might be the most effective ‘underdog’ tactic of all time. It wasn’t tested though, and these were, so there’s that.

Much Love,
FM Senpai

Number 1 looks just like DrBenjys Glory hunter tactic. No wonder he's stopped being a bottle job, been on FM Base

[karritissben]

I've been using the #2 tactic in my Wycombe save. It got me back to back promotions from League One. My right back, Jason McCarthy, turned into prime Cafu with 6 goals and 19 assists in The Championship and currently has a 7.7 av rating after 10 games in the prem.

I understand that you have ties to FM-base and they do do a lot of great stuff, but in terms of tactic creation and testing FM-arena is still clearly better. Even just the increased sample size of games played - 160 on FM-base vs. 912 for the top tactics on FM-arena - is going to make a huge difference in the quality and reliability of the results, not even mentioning the testing methods. For tactics I can only recommend FM-arena. Beyond that FM-base has a lot of other great stuff though :)

[RyanGBB]

The overlap on the final tactic is pretty clever. The inverted wing backs only go inside when there is space so when you suffocate a team into their own final 3rd the overlap kicks in to give you another option in attack, which is good if a team is defending in numbers

[jackwish]

its my 2-6-2 ultracustom tikitaka obviously

[WaariGaming]

There seems to be a misunderstanding about IWBs. While they do cut in centrally (much like an IW would) when they have the ball you will still often see them make overlapping runs, receive the ball and THEN cut in.

[NoobPunisherz]

Oh no. One of my mates constantly copies these formations. Our last online save still has us bewildered of his ‘secret of the pyramid tactic’

[drhay]

This year and last year the FM Arena test table has been by far my favorite way to look for tactics

[aledd]

I know obviously it would take more time to create but would love to have seen some match engine analysis on these tactics. Would've been a really interesting video with actual match engine breakdowns.

[acehole]

Feel the creative formations weren't tested - such as 2323, 3232, 4150 (no attackers by Omega) - when players have full tactical knowledge they always completely over perform, it's just all about getting them used to it with your training program

[ThreeRunHomer]

The diamond wide formation has become a FM staple. Not surprised it’s in the top 5.

[thevidkoproductions]

I play 3-2-4-1 with Aluminij in Slovenia.
1st season finished 6th, scored 81 goals.
2nd season we're 8 points clear in first place half way through the season, 37 goals in first 16 games.

Gegenpress style, sweeper keeper, wide center backs on support, deep lying playmaker and a mezzala or box to box, 2 AM's, 2 wingers, all on attack, and a false 9

[CulturedLeftFoot]

It would be very interesting to a test run that has a human playing the games, not letting the AI sim the same tactic by holidaying for 100 games. I imagine you'll see a drastic difference in those results. Yes, this would be laborious and super player-intensive, but the results would be staggeringly different. My theory would be that all the tactics shown would results in similar win percentages over 100 games played manually. There is a reason that when playing a long term save, you never have the EXACT same tactic for 100 games straight - it starts to get found out. For some reason when games are simmed or holidayed, the AI can't figure it out (maybe because less processing of outcomes in game is done, I don't know?).

[rhdhqwag]

Was tactical familiarity set to the maximum before they were tested?

[TheApocalypse]

I like my mezzala with pilau rice, onion bhaji and bombay potatoes.

You say mezzala like it is a curry dish and now i am hungry :D

[GYRFM]

I like the custom tactics the one 4 minutes in started with haha great video and to be clear he hasn't copied mine he has made alot of changes to my Swansalona to get to that!

[nerdifymusic]

I just use RDF FM 22 Man city tactics and then figured how to press effectively with a plan and boy is it a treat. Took a while for man utd to get used to it but in my second season, I played Liverpool and they only had 3 shots, non on target. The pressing really helps and to be frank, there's a whole lot of factors involved. Recently figured that my defenders having low ratings was because of their preferred foot in relation to their position. Just FYI, I'm still playing FM 21

i think overlaps with iwb works when there's a dm because it sends the iwb one of two ways, if you don't come into the midfield because there's too many players there as per your instructions, you're going up the field, overlapping.

You can tell the editor had fun with this video. Thanks for your hard work dude.... Also thanks for the Face Zealand.
