does "total defense" help?

[corbit]

i just looked for possible opponents in the final champions league stages and stumbled upon a team consisting mostly of World Class players and a few Scouts.
Meaning he is far better in quality and plays quite an offensive formation.

Now my idea: could i survive the CL final (at least until the penalty shoot out) by using the most defensive formation possible? I'm talking of something like this:

     --    ST    --
--   --    --    --   --
--   --    MC    --   --
--  DMC   DMC   DMC   --
DL   DC    DC    DC   DR

or more extreme: 5 players each in D- and DM-row...

Would that (combined with very def mentality) stand against his attacks for 120 minutes?
Does any of you have experience with this kind of extreme defense?
