This will produce the highest match scores and seeding scores. In my opinion its dangerous (potential penalty) and a waste of time to try and get the balls from the far field to the near field...
If another alliance does this and tries to score, you can only have 1 defender for two scorers with two goals... In hearing what one of the GDC guys had to say, I think this is what the expect to happen... and is ultimately the "smart move" for seeding points.

In your particular scenario, the defensive robot would have to go to the midfield where soccer balls are being dropped after being scored from both teams. The robot would have to stay in that position right after where the balls are dropped, and then try to take away as many soccer balls before the opponent can get it as possible to minimize the chance of the opponent bots getting the soccer balls.
How would the opponents score if they are unable to get a soccer ball? My point is to take away their source of soccer ball.
