Deep dives beyond our seven clubs: one team or one idea, explained with animations, numbers and an FM26 card.
Keith Andrews' Brentford are sixth after seven league games, beaten for the first time by Liverpool on 17 October, finishing with nine men; in their first five games they spent barely three minutes behind. A side that gives up the ball, wins with set pieces and fast breaks, and keeps letting leads slip. How it works, four goals animated, and how to copy it in FM26.
Robert Moreno has had four games: 3-0 against Ecuador, 1-4 against Uruguay, 0-0 against Venezuela and 2-0 against Uzbekistan. We logged every shot of the first three, estimated the xG ourselves, and animated how his Korea want to play and where Uruguay broke them.
Fabian Hürzeler's Brighton are third, top scorers, and the best in the league at winning the ball high. How the player-for-player press works, how they build up, where it breaks, and how to copy it in FM26.
