I've been having some success with this tactic as far down as the NCEL Premier Divison at level 9 of the English pyramid. I can definitely see the importance of player attributes and how this isn't a plug-n-play tactic. We're performing very well defensively, with most opponents failing to get more than 1 or 2 shots on target, but goals on the other end are harder to come by...my advanced playmaker doesn't make many plays and the CF has the height but not the pace. A lot of draws, 1-0, and 2-1 victories, but it's still enough for 1st place and I feel like we can have better success as we move up the leagues and find more technical players. Really enjoying this one!
