Nah, just didn't work for my St Albans team but I'm sure thats just because they are rubbish
Really didn't have the same defensive results for me, tried tinkering a bit but not too much as I was testing your tactic and not trying to create a whole new one.
Did revert back to my old technique which eventually got me promoted as champs but I'm bound to be poached by a bigger, better team soon and I'll test this tactic out again then.
Cheers chap.
