  1. I have been testing all the 10.3 Hough tactics and must say that I had the best success with the Classic one. I normally always manage Spurs plus have another manager managing the Danish national team. That second manager then often get club job offered in the PL late in the season when teams are struggling.

    With Spurs Classic make the team solid and I avoid slipping away towards the end of the season by doing a few things to ensure the players stay fresh. I give them a week's rest from training a few times plus rotate the team in easier games.

    SPURS

    In my latest Spurs season I finished 2nd in the PL and won the FA Cup in my first season. My preferred first team was: GK: Ochoa, DF: Corluka, Bale, Sakho, Kaboul, MF: Palacios, Modric, Gourcuff, AT: Lennon, Keane, Balotelli. Was surprised seeing Ochoa keep Gomes on the bench, Lennon scoring a lot despite not really being a striker, and finally seeing Sakho and Kaboul keeping King and Woodgate out of the team. In MF my strngest reserves were Huddletone and Kranjcar while Lukaku got a few matches up front. In the off season I am risking by getting rid of a lot of experienced players: Crouch (was on loan at Barcelona), Pav (was on loan at Hoffenheim), King, Woodgate, Gomes, Huddlestone, Kranjcar, O'Hara (was on loan at Pompey) and Corluka. Only Corluka was a regular first team member but getting Otamendi back from a loan spell make me sell Vedran. Before the first season I snapped up 6-7 VERY promising young players (Areola, Lukaku, Coeff, Rits etc.) who I now want to give the chance to at least back up next season. The future looks very brigt.

    DENMARK/POMPEY

    With the Danish team Classic worked very well. Qualified for the WC and reached the QF beating Argentina on the way. The next few years young players are coming through making the team better.

    Took over the team in the relegation zone with 8 matches to go. First terminated all the loan players I could and terminated all non-playing staff. Replaced non-playing staff with better all previously unemployed (no fee). Used Tugs training and Classic from the beginning. Player morale was VERY low when taking over but after 3 draws and a tight loss it started to turn and they stayed up on goal difference. Interesting to see have the moral turned and then the results improved A LOT. Cleaned up the squad in the early off season (blancing the books) and then resigned.

  2. I have just completed my first full season with the "10.3 Classic" tactic and the results were my best ever. I chose Southampton in League 1, starting with minus 10 points, and ending up winning the league (103 points) and scoring 120 goals in the league and conceeding 40. After a slightly bumpy start I did not lose thje last 30+ matches!

    Now I plan to test the new version, posted on 26 March. So far it looks promising. I won my first match v Doncaster away with 7-1!!

    Here you have the final league table:

    ...and the player stats:

    ...and finally the transfers:

    I can strongly recommend people to pick Southampton as their starting club. The club has a rich owner, no debt plus good facilities.
