Much Strong OSM Tactics

When you are clearly much stronger than your next opponent, these tactics offer the perfect balance between control and aggression. They maintain attacking intent without exposing your defense unnecessarily.

Strong OSM Tactics

These setups are reliable, flexible, and ideal for managers who want consistency. They perform well against slightly weaker teams and can still compete against equals.

Equal Match OSM Tactics

Equal matches are decided by discipline. These tactics are designed to minimize mistakes while still creating goal-scoring opportunities.

Weak OSM Tactics

When you are weaker, survival matters. These tactics focus on structure, compactness, and counter-attacking efficiency.

Much Weaker OSM Tactics

Against far stronger opponents, these are damage-limitation setups. Expect fewer chances, but better defensive stability.
