I'm looking for ways to balance the tactic even more as it has some areas it needs improvement in still.
All feedback appreciated.

-The right central defender has now the defend duty, so the defenders are in one line and the offside trap can work.
-I have given the goalkeeper the Sweeper keeper (defend) role.
-The AMC has now the attacking midfielder (attack) role with PI's "roam from position" and "move into channels" to give a bit more support to the midfield duo while also appearing in the box a lot.
- I removed the "stay on feet" TI. I had the feeling that players let the opponent run past them too easily.
-I removed the "play for set pieces" TI, because it undoes momentum, when the team is putting pressure on the opponent.
I hope it works for you!
BBM(s) -> BWM (d): Benitez typically used a ball winning midfielder next to a deep lying playmaker.
Changing the role of the AMC to Advanced playmaker (support) also had a good effect on my team performance and on the AMC's average rating.
I am curious to know what your thinking is behind using a central defender on cover duty. This doesn't seem to make sense, since you use the offside trap.
I would like to hear what you think about my suggestions and what changes you consider making.
