Football Manager players tend to focus too much on tactics. Yes, it's true that a good tactic can make a big difference. However, the game isn't really just about plugging in the right tactical combinations and automatically winning everything. You've got to pay close

The Chunichi Dragons are slashing .239/.289/.328 as a team this season. They’ve scored just one run or fewer in 44% of games and they’ve only hit 57 home runs. That’s the equivalent of having an entire lineup of 2023 Santiago Espinal or Harrison Bader.
