Honestly, if you're interested in that setup, I'd look into a butterfly drive or octocanum setup, but that involves deploying wheels which you stated in your OP post you didn't want to have to deal with at the moment.
But if you can't push back, the defense is still doing its job by keeping you in place. Especially if you are one of the top scorers. If you aren't, defense shouldn't be a problem anyways
