This was built and tested in Italian football using both AC Milan and AS Roma as subjects.
Originally started with 1xST and 4xCM/DM combo. This was eventually deemed too defensive, and the added threat of a second striker made (1) a direct ball to the top viable, and (2) the team less predictable. It's not a gamebreaker tactic, but it is a viable Sweeper system for Football Manager 2018.
