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.
This card models Raffaele Palladino’s Monza in the 2023–24 Serie A. They finished 12th. Their clearest trait: they played narrow (17th of 20 for width), while they pressed at a middling level (6th of 20). The settings below keep the team compact and central. On the other axes they ranked: defensive line 14th, build-up 7th, tempo 13th. In FM26 this becomes a 3-4-3, 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.
