My Huge Tactics Testing Project (FM 2013)

Well guys, its about damn time..
Cant resist not to run my testing project in every FM season.
For those who never heard of this project, you may look for:

FM 2011
My Huge Tactics Testing Project!!!
FM 2012
My Huge Tactics Testing Project (FM 2012) !!!

This time is no different:
Plug-n-Play style, watch all matches (no instant result)..

As you can see, this is an attempt to find some of the best Plug-n-Play tactics for (and againts) big clubs..
Understandably some tactics may not do well here since they were not made for Plug-n-Play.
Bottomline, its all for fun, so lets not get things (too) personal.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'll update new results anytime I can..

Meanwhile, you all welcome to suggest any improvement for this test. But of course I cant do all the suggested
improvement, because believe it or not, I do have a life..
You are also welcome to suggest any tactic, especially tactics which I cant find here.
I will start with the most recognized ones.
Thanx in advance!

what happened last year mate you disapeared? glad u back

[jcrook88]

tbh has a set of 4 of a 4 5 1 with wing backs, the best version by FAR is the counter version, even if you are the favourite, i use it 90% of the time and its a killer, you have to try it mate

[bartvador]

TBH 451 OVERLOAD the best tactic

[apvmoreira]

You don't have madox13 monegasque tactic and Mrhoughs.

Can i recommend to do a league like HAzza did last year, using all 100 CA players in all teams?

But try to put all tactics.

Hi, sorry about abandoning the project last year. got things going on in the real life. dont really wanna talk about it..

anyway, i'm glad to be back too..

thanks for the input, will give it a go next time..
this is exactly why I need suggestions, coz there are many versions out there.

wont argue about it..

I actually have both tactics downloaded, they are on the shortlist for the real test..
I'm currently only on the pre-testing.. thanks btw!

about, your suggestions, I'm not sure if 100 CA players can compete with the AI teams on this project..
check the next update I'm about to post.. some tactics struggle quite badly..
even though its other people's tactics, but I hate seeing the teams unable to compete..
I'm looking for tactics that I can actually use on my game save.. and I only manage the big teams..

[Rodrigo4073]

I would like you to try with my tactic, i would like to see how it functions in this kind of challenge, it won't work as good because it's not designed to plug-n-play, but anyways, thanks.
