Your backroom staff makes a few suggestions as to which approaches and formations best suit your current squad, but as ever you’re free (and often wise) to disagree with them completely. Each approach requires different talents from your squad beyond their positions, relating to specific roles – if your full-backs are the stay at home types, you’d be unwise to build a tactic based around them sprinting up and down the pitch, overlapping wingers and getting involved in attacks. This starts not with a formation, but a philosophy: the death-by-passing Tiki-taka used by Barca and the Spanish national side to such great effect in the noughties. Upon taking over a new club, you’re invited to build a tactical approach from scratch. SimplePlanesįM21 makes this path towards tactical enlightenment a bit easier on you via some UI tweaks and a more involved tutorial phase.

You can see the difference in quality between League Two football and a top flight match, and between the weakest and strongest players on the pitch, like never before. Perhaps /more/ than ever, actually, thanks to that revised match engine. And yet the urge to get to the next match is as strong as ever. Honestly, you can have Ronaldo, Messi and Neymar in your starting eleven, but if they’re not getting the balls delivered to them even a mid-table outfit like Arsenal can shut them down.

Tiki-tacticsīecause you’re given newfound power to discover the inner workings of formations and tactics, it’s no longer enough to just sign incredible players, send them out onto the pitch and expect them to trot back to the dressing room with three points. It isn’t quite Dylan Goes Electric, but it’s a landmark moment in the series nonetheless. You’re no longer envisioning the exact shimmy by which Jaden Sancho found the space to ping in the Champions League final-winning cross, you’re seeing it verbatim. But when Football Manager 2021 comes along and brings with it a newly detail-rich match engine and sports data analysis figures that quash any ambiguity about your tactics, the seasoned manager is faced with a bit of a culture shock.
