I have used this tactic with Lyon to great success so far, won the league comfortable in my first and second season. I managed to break  the points record both seasons. Came 2nd in Europa League year 1 and quarter finals of the champions league year 2 (Bertrand Traore got injured. A good right IF is key.). For this tactic to work you want a strong front 4 preferable with a good BBM too. Top of the league now around the middle of the season.  If you have any questions ask away!
