2027/28: 4th place in the Championship with 92 points and 123 goals scored (the best attack in the league).

The 3-4-2-1 system delivered a Play-Off Semi Final finish, with Piet Burghardt (20G) (winter transfer) and Samuele Di Benedetto (17A) leading the numbers.

Summer window complete. Young talent, profiles with upside and a squad built to compete immediately in the Championship.

The objective is clear: stabilise the club, build a strong identity and push Sheffield Wednesday back into the top half of the table.

League One champions and EFL Trophy winners with a 343 Total Football identity based on high pressing and relentless attacking football.

Midway through the season, we changed our AWBs to PWBs, giving us more width, attacking support and presence in the final third.

I hate when this happens. My best defender has his loan finished and went to Middlesbrough in January.

I wanted one CB to up the level in this battle. Now, I have to sign two.

🚨 We're back.. in Football Manager 2024 🚨

After a prolonged FM26-related hiatus, I have finally found inspiration to write again.

Jürgen Klopp's 'Heavy Metal' Dortmund - out next week ⌛️

Thank you for your patience & support 🙏

433 focused on high tempo and control. In possession, we form a 235 with strong central overloads, where IFBs invert to support the build-up and secure the middle.

The ACB steps forward as a deep playmaker, while the CHMs constantly attack the box and drive progression.

The season comes to an end. 3rd place and Semi-final in both competitions. RB Leipzig took this league with all power.

Next season, we need to improve our defence and find a striker. Our top scorer was Lennart Karl with 14 goals.

Semi-final in both competitions.

First big result with this tactic. It was a tough match with statistics showing how equal it was.

In these first matches, Manzambi is a "monster".

@SteinkelssonFM What team cause you more troubles?

[Sousa FM @SousaIFM]

433⏩325.

🔹CBs and IFBs form the first line of build-up;
🔹Ginter steps into midfield as an ACB, linking with the DLP;
🔹Wingers provide width and stretch the pitch;
🔹But the real game-changers are two CHMs. Their runs into the box create overloads.

1st season over

This was our formation throughout the season. We finished 2nd in the league but won the Europa League.

Overall, we scored a lot of goals but conceded a lot too. I realised in November, but wanted to play this way until the end.

@DexXPro23 @FM_Assist Never happened to me! I reloaded this game.

@FM_Assist

I changed my tactic during the game and made substitutions. They didn't go through, and now I can't take my players out.
