This game is so strange. It may be far from being a proper football tactical game. When you put blue arrows on DCs, the pressure is switched to your team and you may even concede goals. You put blue arrows on MCs, the same thing may happen. It is as if instead from ordering those specific players to be more defensive, they are ordered to be more offensive (the reverse) or careless. Have a look at Buffs Mad thread for the visual part of a match; you will see what I mean.
