Exactly. That'd work like a charm in real but so much depends on the wingbacks that it would bomb on here.
Oh and by the way anto, Gio agrees with me that using Hierro in midfield is optimum.
I like Hierro in midfield, don't get me wrong. I've been largely playing a counterattacking game though, so his passing from the centre of defence works just as well, if not better, considering I had Schuster, Carlos Alberto and Junior elsewhere all capable of spraying passes as well. If I played him in midfield, by the time he gets to the other end I have either scored or he is already running back
You were mentioning anticipating danger earlier as well, and I agree, but I want him marshalling the troops in full view of what is going on, rather than in the thick of it. Somewhat different concept I know, you were referring to someone cutting it at the source, when I much prefer the logic that when there are many possible sources one man can't do the job but a disciplined collective effort will.
From his standpoint he can see everything that is going on AND what everyone should be doing, if anyone is deviating from their job or has not picked up on something that the oppo is looking to exploit he will put it right. That's what he is called El Mariscal for.
