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

This is a well-founded starting point — the FM match engine is a separate system, so real match performance is not guaranteed.
Built from Simone Inzaghi’s Inter Milan side of 2023–24 (Serie A), this card turns real season data into FM26 settings. They finished 1st. Their clearest trait: they played at a high tempo (2nd of 20), and they attacked down the flanks, 2nd of 20 for width. Expect the settings below to favour quick passing and fast transitions. On the other axes they ranked: build-up 4th, defensive line 16th, pressing intensity 9th. In FM26 this becomes a 3-5-2, 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.
