I've noticed that there's a tactic with a similar approach, although using a winger and inverted player instead of a WT, called Osmo Winger. This variation attempts to incorporate a few settings from it with the "regular" version.
Works really well in practice, but requires a WT who wins the headers vs opposing defensive wingers. Thus, I'd be surprised if this works well in this specific tactic testing scenario.
( TYPE 1 ) Fast, short and weak striker ( 137 CA ) as Target Forward
( TYPE 2 ) Strong, tall and slow striker ( 140 CA ) as Target Forward
RESULT:
As you can see despite having a higher "star" rating as TF and a higher CA with TYPE 2 attributes, it still produces a worse result.
Btw, there's nothing surprising in that result because as I said, we've tested that many times already, just read through this thread or some others.
If you're getting any different results in your own tests then it's because you test for not enough matches or your testing mythology has issues.

<3 Thanks for the test! Have your stored the resulting save games by chance? I would love to compare some of the stats from both test cases to see where it differs from the one I've ran!
