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 Carles Martínez’s Toulouse side of 2024–25 (Ligue 1), this card turns real season data into FM26 settings. They finished 10th. Their clearest trait: they kept a low line, 14th of 18, while they pressed moderately, 13th of 18 for intensity. The settings below keep the defence compact and deep, inviting the opponent forward. On the other axes they ranked: build-up 13th, tempo 10th, width 10th. In FM26 this becomes a 3-4-3, with team instructions and role settings listed below. Ranks are within the Ligue 1 2024–25 field of 18 teams, where 1st is the highest value on that axis.
