Introduction:
Well guys, My Huge Tactics Testing Project is back! This one will be the fourth yearly project in a row.
In case you haven't heard about it, then you should take a look on how its been done in the previous FM versions.

PS: I thank all of you for the support over the years. It kept me motivated..
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Objectives:
Now, this year's project is no different, its all about finding out the most reliable PLUG-N-PLAY tactics for the BIG teams. Against popular beliefs, I always believe that we can still be VERY successful in this game even if we play it in a plug-n-play fashion. As long as we have (1) a title challenging squad and (2) a very consistent tactic.
That's why I'm looking for a 'one for all' tactic. A tactic that is reliable for both home/away games, against big/small teams, and efficient in any league. A tactic that can win us trophies without using any shout, OP, or any other 'individual based' interventions. I know, there is no such 'wonder' or 'exploit' tactics in recent FMs. But there are always few standout tactics that are very reliable and consistent. That's what I'm looking for!
Beforehand, I would like to remind everyone that this project is not meant to degrade any well-known tactic out there. Some popular tactics may struggle in this test, NOT because they are not good, simply because not all tactics will work in a plug-n-play style of playing.
This is a quantitative, result-oriented, and statistical project. Therefore, don't ask me any in-depth question, such as, strength/weakness of a tactic. Such questions will be directed to the original creator/thread instead.
Also, my sincere in-advanced apologies to the tactic creators for including your creation without proper permission. I normally tested hundreds of tactics in each year, and waiting permission for every tactic is very time consuming. My bad..
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Methodologies:
Mode: Normal (not classic)
Transfer: I cancelled the loans, injuries and suspensions.
Length: full season
Competitions: 1 league, 1 cup, 1 Champ playoffs
Teams: Top clubs from various top leagues
Match day: Watch all games, no instant result
Team selection: Quick pick
Training/match preparation/team talk: Ast. Manager
Pitch size: Standard
Highlight: Only commentary (fastest speed)
Intervention: No shouts or OP
Substitution: Only in case of injury or red card
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Your contributions:
You are all very welcome to suggest any tactic to be tested in this project. Though I'll start by testing the more recognized ones. I'm very open with the idea of testing tactics which cant be found in this site, so be my guest.
Please keep your comments and discussions civilized. Any personal differences should be settled somewhere else.
Just like any other thread in any type of forum, my thread also requires attention. So, a once in a while thumbs up is always good for the motivation.
So lets start the project then...
Notes:
- You may check the summary of ALL rounds in POST #2
- You may also check the latest update for the current round on POST #3
Urgent note, if any of you know-how-to and willing to make me an 'all equal teams' league database, then I'll be happy to use it for this project. In my last few attempts, it ended as an unplayable database or in-game crashes. So the best thing I can do right now is to use the original big teams.
