Foreword by Richard Claydon


Its an interesting feeling writing a foreword to Tactical Theorems, rather than
producing the content, but one I might have to get used to.

As some of you might know, TT&F 09 was used as a springboard for the redevelopment
of tactical conceptualisations within the FM and FML. My relative lack of contribution to
tactical discussions on official or fan forums over the last 12 months has been due to
regular communication on tactical ideas and concepts with Ov and Paul as part of the
development strategy for FM10s tactical creator. This process has been exciting and
challenging, transforming TT&Fs theories into a far more sophisticated set of tools,
strategies and descriptions than we had imagined possible at the beginning of the
process. The collation of forum ideas that underpinned TT&F was expanded via
contributions from many sources, including forum mods, FML players, Dream Team
Beta testers, SI employees and others too numerous to mention. One thing that
remained constant throughout the process was the enthusiasm and positive feedback
for the changes we made from nearly all corners of the FM universe. Before I go on, Id
like to express my thanks to everybody who contributed theoretically or motivationally,
as these ideas and attitudes made the whole process consistently enjoyable.

TT10

All creative tasks are unavoidably imbued with a sense of tragic irony, and so it has been
with the creator. The first irony I have had to deal with is one that besets all creative
development, which is the tension that unites destruction and creation. Although the
release of the creator comes accompanied by feelings of pride and satisfaction, it is
impossible not to feel frustrated at tasks left undone. Every new stage of creator
sophistication we achieve leads us towards more areas we wish to improve, with
development being a constant battle between time and ideas. The satisfaction
accompanying the release of the tactical creator is already being replaced by a desire to
push it further and faster, and you can be assured that the project will be ongoing.
Simply put, we hope you like what we have made, but will work towards making future
creators increasingly more sophisticated, realistic and, most importantly, fun

Although I expected to feel this ironic tension, the second irony of not contributing to
TT&F was unexpected. Despite becoming more collaborative with each version, TT&F
has been my baby, a document which cemented my forum identity. It is an interpretive
work, requiring detachment and distance from the developmental ideas of the creators.
However, being part of the creative process, I can no longer be interpretive. There is an
unavoidable gap between the creator of tools and those who master them, with the
latter eventually achieving greater sophistication than the creator anticipated. A nonhubristic creator will then attempt to improve his tools by communicating with those
that have mastered them. Once that communication draws the master of the tools into
the domain of the creator, the detached interpretive ability that facilitated the mastery is
lost and he must rely on others to fulfil that function.

Because I have been involved with the creator from its inception to its release, I am too
close to its concepts to offer a viable or useful interpretation. I have biases towards
certain philosophies, adjustments and shouts that I am unable to overcome, because,
from my perspective, their conceptual elegance is seductive. They produce the kind of
virtual football I envisioned they would and I have become over-attached to them. This
over-attachment makes it impossible for me to offer an unbiased overview of the
system, or a detached enough interpretive eye to evaluate how other systems of play
could provide different, better solutions to match situations. The authors of Tactical
Theorems 10 are able to elevate to this detached position and provide a richer
interpretation of the creator than I could begin to achieve. Their work simultaneously
teaches me how to better play FM and inspires ideas on how the creator might be
further improved. Its a pleasure to recommend this document to anybody wishing to
learn the intricacies of strategic tactical play in FM2010 and a delight to know that the
future of Tactical Theorems is in such capable hands.
