This is a well-founded starting point — the FM match engine is a separate system, so real match performance is not guaranteed.
This card models Marco Baroni’s Hellas Verona in the 2023–24 Serie A. They finished 13th. Their clearest trait: they were among the league’s most aggressive pressers (4th of 20), and they held a high defensive line (4th of 20). Expect the settings below to ask players to close down quickly and win the ball high up the pitch. On the other axes they ranked: tempo 16th, width 6th, build-up 15th. In FM26 this becomes a 4-2-3-1, with team instructions and role settings listed below. Ranks are within the Serie A 2023–24 field of 20 teams, where 1st is the highest value on that axis.
