My favourite tactic of all time, was Reaper tactic, I believe from 2023, it was fast paced, no strikers and bundles of through balls which created so many 1v1s due to fast counter attacks.
Since release of FM26 I have tried to recreate it which has been hard due to in and out of possession options.
But I think I've finally cracked it.
what you'll see here is rapid, quick pass and go and many through balls which lead to plenty of goals.
1 thing to notice is that you'll rarely get more than 50% possession due to constantly trying that through ball.
I took Wrexham from league 1 to premier league in constant promotions and now sit top of premier league 4 seasons in.
I also tried the tactic on a previous Man Utd save I had and got same results.
Won the league with Man Utd 3 seasons running and each time was by more than 12 points.
Current Wrexham save I'm 12 games in, 11 wins with 1 loss but sit top with huge goal difference.
I will attach the tactic and some screen shots and hopefully you guys can give it a spin and let me know how you get on.
type of players required = vision and speed
If you don't have the correct players needed at the time, you can change short passing to direct passing and that'll get the ball into opposition area quicker but with lower possession.
