I decided to start a new save and selected Roma as the team I was going to test this tactic out with. With Totti as the Treq and Bojan as the Poacher I thought the team selection was a good one, even though Roma do have slightly below average wingers.
Pre-season went well, won 4 games and drew 1.
Then the season started. In 14 games across all competitions I only won 2 matches, drew 1 and lost the rest which ultimately led to me being sacked in the fastest amount of time I have personally experienced in any FM game.
I will not be using this tactic again. I'd like to hear from anyone who has used this tactic with Roma to see if it is one of those cases where a tactic just simply doesn't work with a team/in a league or if I was just struck with the worst streak of results I have experienced.
