This was a test run on a few of the forum's most popular tactics using the new 11.3 patch....I edited the game so that Jose Mourinho was the assistant manager for the team I chose which was Blackburn Rovers. I went on holiday, selecting use current tactics and the same return date of 01/01/2011.
Effectively this meant Mourinho was managing the team with the tactics I chose. None of the tactics therefore are used in accordance to their creators exact specification i.e. pitch size, OI's etc etc. I just wanted to see how the tactics faired under the same conditions against each other. Each tactic was used in its own fresh new game under the conditions outlined above.
Just because the tactic wasn't successful in this test, in no way means it wouldn't do better under human control with freedom to buy players and adhere to any creator instructions.
