    @JAY-ZO hello

    I just started playing this game, but I can't figure out which formation and tactic to use; I keep losing points with every tactic and formation. What is the best formation and tactic in this game?

        as I said, 4 5 1 and 4 3 3.
        however transfers are important.

        By day: professional osm player (former member & admin of gns crew, now member of ufn), and professional 3rd half player
        By night: worker in the osm xi research department of the soccer/football research department of the sports research department of the supa top secret un detectable un destroyable research centre.

            Hi mate.
            Basically, the main thing is transfers, after starting a league, make sure you get active on the transfer list immediately (unless of course its a league without transfers). In that case i think its a bit more laid back and also a chance to experiment with tactics.
            The second most important thing is training. The thing to remember is that older (30+) players get less progression in training, and also it takes more time to sell them.
            There are 2 things which give you an advantage in a match apart from home game: having all players in the correct position and having 6 or more players of the same nationality in your team. The bonuses are not disclosed to the players, to try and find out for themselves. As far as i know, i think it gives like a 10-20% percent bonus depending on certain factors.
            Specialists:
            Captain: your oldest player
            Penalties and free kicks: player with best attack
            Corners: best midfielder
            And lastly, the most meta formations are:
            For home or easy game:
            4 3 3 A/B with passing game or wing play, making sure all players are in correct position. Tackling according to ref, zonal marking, no offside, defenders defend deep, attackers stay forward and midfielders stay in position.
            Apart from that, for hard/away games, 4 5 1, 5 2 3, 4 2 3 1 work best, with counter attack or shoot on sight, same tactics as above.
            Hope that helps you 🫡

            Thanks for the detailed tips, mate! That’s really helpful, especially the info about training older players and the nationality bonus. I’ll focus on transfers early and try out those formations depending on the match difficulty. Appreciate you sharing your experience!

              This is a solid summary of the OSM meta, especially the emphasis on the nationality bonus and the importance of active transfer trading to build squad value. In my experience, focusing on high-potential young players early on is the most effective way to create a powerhouse team that dominates the late-season standings.
