FM26 First Season Tactics
How to pick a shape your squad can play, and when to panic in the dugout.
Attributes first
A gegenpress with 10 stamina is a suicide pact. Look at work rate, decisions, and pace before you download a tactic file.
In-match
If you are dominated, drop a line or add a holding mid. Random shouts do not fix a broken role.
Recruitment
One upgrade per line per window is plenty. A 20-player revolution kills chemistry.
Board
Promise what you can deliver. A European promise with a League Two squad is how you get sacked in December.
