Going back to the original quote, I'm about to win League 2 with Morecambe playing three at the back with a Regista and a DM(S) directly in front:
PF(A) TF(S)
AMC(A)
WB(S) REG(S) DM(S) WB (A)
CD(D) CD(D) CD(D)
SK (D)
I have a couple of giants up front and the setup is designed to play to their strengths, but the pivot both supports and protects quite nicely with the Regista often hitting balls over the top for the AMC to run on to. I often change him tp to a DLP(S) if I want a bit more solidity (or the DMC moves to D).
