Amber badges are the identity-defining instructions. We only set a value where the data gives a clear signal; where it does not, the FM default is left in place and shown faded — those are yours to adjust. Click an item to check it off.
In Possession
Out of Possession
FM26 handles one in-possession shape, one out-of-possession shape, and the switch between them. The items below fall outside that — this card carries only what the game can take.

This is a well-founded starting point — the FM match engine is a separate system, so real match performance is not guaranteed.
Built from Philippe Clement’s AS Monaco side of 2022–23 (Ligue 1), this card turns real season data into FM26 settings. They finished 6th. Their clearest trait: they defended deep (16th of 20 for line height), while they were average for width, 8th of 20. The settings below keep the defence compact and deep, inviting the opponent forward. On the other axes they ranked: pressing intensity 9th, tempo 9th, build-up 11th. In FM26 this becomes a 4-4-2, with team instructions and role settings listed below. Ranks are within the Ligue 1 2022–23 field of 20 teams, where 1st is the highest value on that axis.
