Why not go for a sweeper keeper with the high defense line?
I tried that. I think the problem is that SK is (still) mainly an attacking setting, less a defensive one. That is, the keeper does not really play a sweeper role without the ball, Neuer-style (at least I've never seen that); however, he then has the instruction to play more risky or counter-attacking balls, which does not fit this tactic. A defensive SK might be working, but I did not see any significant defensive improvement (admittedly, I haven't played it that much).
