nothing better than taking a shitty lower league team to UCL glory

it's better to not choose many things when setting up a tactic unless your players are pretty talented and carefully assembled for a very specific play. what you are doing when forcing a detailed tactic on average players is cucking them of their own play. they will perform better if you just let them do their thing

and yeah, less is more when it comes to setting up formations and tactics. specify the obvious stuff (like selecting players with a 19 set piece taking to take them), leave  the rest on default. 

the best non-obvious tip (to me, at least) i had found on those fm forums was to always check the determination stat of a player. these can usually be trained to develop immensely, even if their starting stats are mediocre
