FM27's Best New Feature Is Also Its Biggest Problem

Things we can learn from the video

1:10Jack argues Tactical Effectiveness goes beyond familiarity and discourages plug-and-play tactics.
2:53Training schedules directly influence tactical understanding, making preparation harder to delegate or ignore.
8:56An intensive Arsenal pre-season rapidly improves tactical understanding and effectiveness.
10:15Horsham's limited training time and lower player ability restrict the gains available to a semi-professional team.
14:17Jack shows effectiveness falling sharply at season's end when upcoming match information disappears.

WorkTheSpace's Jack wants Football Manager to make him think harder. Spending more time arranging training sessions is a different proposition. His most-watched new upload explores that distinction through FM27's Tactical Effectiveness system, and has passed 105,000 views.

In "FM27's Best New Feature Is Also Its Biggest Problem", an intensive Arsenal pre-season produces rapid improvements in tactical understanding. Applying the same approach at semi-professional Horsham exposes a tougher constraint: limited training time and lower player ability leave much less room to improve. Jack welcomes a system that discourages simply importing a successful tactic, but questions whether the work around it is interesting enough. "It feels like a chore. It doesn't feel like a nuanced decision that you're making," he says.

Viewers are getting specific about possible fixes. Some want assistant coaches they can trust to handle training; others question why players should lose understanding of a familiar system. Semi-professional clubs' restricted schedules are another recurring concern, alongside suggestions that tactical complexity should matter more than a blanket measure of player ability.

That discussion sits within eleven uploads, including a reassessment of FM27 after more playing time and further instalments of the Coventry save. The story there has moved beyond the survival job we covered earlier: a major rebuild and a two-striker formation have given way to a European chase complicated by poor form.

The practical guide "9 Things You NEED To Do FIRST In FM27" is attracting the most daily viewing now, followed by Coventry's European predicament. Across the channel, the week added roughly 729,000 views, although today's viewing is below its usual daily level and subscribers were unchanged. Among nearby sports-gaming channels, Even More Chuff had a bigger week for added views, while lollujo and Manny Plus had quieter totals. For Jack, the busiest new discussion is about making the virtual manager's job demanding without turning preparation into paperwork.

What viewers say

Something that could go a long way here is making coaches actually effective at handling training under this new system. You should feel comfortable allowing your assistant to properly run training and feel sure they’ll train your players for the best tactical effectiveness. That’s not the case at all currently.

By the end of FM27 we will all be seeing each other in the dugouts , or the job centre.

I think Player Ability should be tied to complexity rather than the current global scale. It would mean that you still can't just plug in a tiki taka tactic as a semi-pro team, but you can actually fill up tactical effectiveness with your low block 4-4-2. It would also mean that as your team gets better you can tinker with your tactic and add more to it, like a reward for progressing the club.

For semi pro it felt really bad, since they can't train enough to get familiar.

FYI on the training page rather than clicking on each training item and then the separate box opening up, you can just right click the box you want to change and then you can edit it quicker

The experiment you did around the 9 minute mark. Start of season vs month later. Would be interesting to see the difference between the start, a month later without touching training, and a month later of focusing on tactical effectiveness

Very good video! I think I agree with you entirely! Good mechanic, but it could do with some more work around it to make it clearer and more intuitive.
