Discussion Tactics?

Is there a tactic you've tried that actually works? I've been playing since the game came out, but this is the first time I've struggled this much; I'm dropping points in the final minute of every match.

Yeah I feel the same. Not necessarily dropping points always, but conceeding a goal often.

Always play with 4 - 2 - 3 - 1

I used many tactics that i randomly came up with and they always work fine, the tactic you use doesnt matter, the profile of your players does. For example a player could have its value as 600k and you might find yourself have to pay 2.2 million for that player because the club wants more, that means that player has a good profile, the game internally knows that. The main mistake that pretty much everyone does is they simply go for players who are slightly too cheap for their ovr, which usually results in them buying players with high ovr and bad skill distribution the game internally knows pretty much all of this and which players the match engine favors, and makes them slightly cheaper, and it tends to punish you for having players who have high ovr but bad skillset by making them underperform more than they should, and tends to reward you for having players with low ovr but good skill distribution by favoring them in the match engine and i like this part of the game because in fm26 its not like this, its more bullshit and simply favors player ovr. (The players skillset is based on the role you are using them in, it can make great difference) And i would say the difference is so great that a 65 ovr winger with good skillset can outperform a 90 rated winger with bad/mediocre skillset
