1. Introduction
After playing FM2019, I've realised that your team has more RNG(Random Number Generator) advantage playing at home compared to at away and neutral even with the same "best" tactic. Which means that the opponent has more RNG advantage when they are playing at home and neutral RNG advantage playing at neutral. So I decided to set out to find ways to boost my team's RNG advantage. With the recent set piece "exploits" in the current match engine(m.e v1922), the RNG advantage of scoring goals were of no problem. However, leaking goals playing at away was a big problem. I've tried different ways to counter the problem like changing team instructions or roles, but to no avail. However, at last, I've found the best solution. The best solution was to have a good defensive formation(with attacking tactical styles) for your away games. For home games, an attacking formation, the RNG advantage at home gives a boost to your defense so you do not have to worry much. I've also realised that having the right training can boost your team's RNG advantage.
2. Results
Playing as Chelsea in the 2nd season and having not bought any players for both seasons, this are the results:
3. Tactics
I've used TFF tactics as the base and tweaked the line of engagement and defensive line to "higher" because "highest" was prone to being counter attacked. I've also change the corner routine to comedychrissy's as i feel his was much effective. I've also changed the roles for different positions in the set pieces routine to better suit the formation. If you want your striker to score more goals, unlike mine, you could try swapping his position with the MC in the set piece routine. This 2 tactics i have used, my MC scored close to as much as my striker has scored.
Feel free to download this formation, other's formation or create your own formation, the main point here is to have an attacking formation for home and a defensive formation for away and neutral, with set piece "exploits" included in both formation. Doing all this allows you to better increase your team's RNG advantage. Remember to give it time also, as your tactic familiarity increase, your team's RNG advantage increases as well. Take note that you should have "attacking tactical style" for both attacking and defensive formation, this is to increase the RNG advantage to get more set pieces situations hence creating more opportunity to use the "exploit".
Home - Tweaked TFF's tactic
Away - Tweaked TFF's tactic
4. Opposition Instructions
I do not use any opposition instructions as i feel it would affect the tactics in a bad way.
5. Set Pieces
Corner by Chrissy Dude
Throw in by TFF
Set your DR for corner right and DL for corner left. You do not need to set for throw ins.
6. Substitutions
I normally sub 2 players at 60mins mark and 1 player at 80mins mark. Saving 1 sub until 80mins is to prevent from playing with 10 men if 1 man get injured.
The way I sub is according from top to bottom:
1. Player with yellow card and worse "grey" rating
2. Player with worse "grey" rating
3. If all are "green" ratings, players that is the most tired
7. Training
I set my away formation as the primary tactic as i want to increase the RNG advantage in my away and neutral games.
I've also set all my weekly team training to set piece as i want to increase the RNG advantage of scoring goals from the set piece "exploits" and decrease the RNG of leaking goals from set piece.
8. Team's Happiness
Remember to keep your team happy and prevent them from being unhappy.
They want a new contract and is a good player, give it to them.
They want to play, try to make them drop their concerns
They want to play and is a improving player, loan them.
They want to play and is a non-improvement player, sell them.
All this allows you to maintain and not decrease your RNG advantage.
9. Better Players
Signing and having better players will obviously increase your RNG advantage.
10. Other Tips and tricks
Pay as much as you want
Pay as much as you want for any player without it being deducted from your transfer budget, it will only be deducted from the club's finance. The only thing you have to worry is matching the player's contract and his agent fee as it will be deducted from your transfer budget.
The steps: Transfer > Make an offer > Fee $1 > Additional fee add Installments, 12 monthly, 1 installment > whatever amount the seller will accept.

The steps: Before "Submit Team" > Instant Results > Do not use match plan > Yes
The match will be played with your tactic and subs.
I have no idea what the other 2 options, Next Match and Last Match, are supposed to do.
