Hi guys,

I can say that the ME almost hasn't changed in FM20 so here's an updated version of FM19 Gladiator for FM20.

I celled it 'ZEUS'.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

-- MR : Right Foot – Very Strong

-- ML : Left Foot - Very Strong/Strong/Fairly Strong (Conqueror, Gladiator, Berserk and Crusher tactics)

CORNERS :

- MR should take the right corners

- ML should take the left corners

THROW-INS:

- DL should take the left throw-ins

- DR should take the right throw-ins

OPPOSITION INSTRUCTIONS

I suggest not setting any Opposition Instructions and not letting your assistant manager to do that

YELLOW AND RED CARDS

Please notice that all positions in the tactic have “Tackle Harder” PI which means that you need to control your players’ tackling aggression during matches in order to avoid getting a man sent off so if during a match you see that someone of your players gets booked then go to the tactic menu and add "Easy Off Tackles" PI to this players or otherwise there’s a high risk that this player gets a second yellow card/red card.

FILTERS

First of all, if you are going to use the filters then you should turn OFF the "Attributes Masking" setting when you start a new save otherwise the filters will be useless.

Also, you need to understand that when starting a new save the more nations you load and the larger database you set, the more players appear in the filters.

Here's a screenshot with an information how you can turn it OFF when you start a new:

The more expensive "package" you have, the more players appear in “Player Search” menu.

In order to have all players in game appearing in “Player Search” menu you need to have the best possible package “World”.

Please notice that the default settings of the filters are very tough and it's supposed to show the best 10-30 players in the world for the positions in the tactic and only the top clubs from the major European football nation can afford such players and it's obvious if you manage a small club then you can't afford to have such player and you need to "easy" the matching condition one by one until you find someone that you can afford to buy but you need to be very careful when you "easy the matching conditions" because some important attributes might be missed by much and you always should check and see what attributes are missing and by how much amount:

Some of you may have heard of the member TotalFootballFan from the SI forums, he has basically over the last couple of years or so created the best plug and play tactics for FM. We will be sharing his FM20 tactics here.

Strange as I've not seen such bad results elsewhere with this tactic, maybe try my own 3-2-3-2 tactic that I've posted as I won the championship with Forest using that, though was a few seasons into the game.

I'm afraid I can't help as there is no explanation for such bad results, have you tried it with a different team?

It's an add on to make the AI managers more difficult to beat but if you've but heard of it you're certainly not using it.

Are you using instant result or watching highlights during matches?

Sadly I've not used the tactic myself but something you could try to make your Defensive Line higher, this may result in more balls over the top but it will help your own team pressure the opposition to win the ball back.

Also try not to play attacking mentality every game, use Positive or Balanced.

Hey @VP.,

Just a heads up.

SI have confirmed similar has happened on their forum and are currently discussing it internally before taking action.

Wow, the lengths people go to just to get download numbers up!

Personally the only part of it that bothers me is this
To top it off there was also negative feedback from the accounts posted on the hard work of other tactic authors, along with negative ratings.
which is very wrong. I tried the first Zeus and didn't find it very good at all and lets be honest it doesn't matter how many people download our tactics what matters is if they actually help users in their games and if all the 'fake' comments have been removed I'd imagine there are a fair few negative ones standing out a bit more now which will only work against him in the future as the trust has taken a big knock.

I'll leave them here for now and see what SI does, thanks for letting me @FM Base

Yes, that's the part that disappoints us the most too. We're waiting to see what SI does too before we take further action.

Have had a think and or though we're not a tactics orientated site I have made the decision to remove his files from here due to TFF's actions towards other tactic creators. What he has been doing won't affect us here but I've made the decision on what he has done elsewhere.

As a community we should try to help and encourage each other to create content as it really doesn't matter who is the best or worst at anything as long as we all enjoy playing the game!

Also want to say well done to @FM Base for firstly noticing what was going on and letting other sites know, then secondly taking the action to ban him from their own site once more evidence was found.

It was a rabbit hole, sadly the further we dug the more obvious it became that the ban was inevitable. Cheers for the support.
