Or you are playing 4-1-3-2 and your opponent doesn't have a DMC, so you can play with AMC or if u do not have one, just put a red arrow on the middle MC. And so on.
Basically, reasons for using arrows are when you want to change your tactic but don't have the necessary players or when you play offensive/defensive. Many people are using blue arrows on DL-DC-DR's and red arrows on ST's. That's useless cause they can't go backward or forward more then they already are.
About your team, get another MC, a strong one, 5 stars at least. Your team is as strong as your midfield is. Try to have defensive players who can play DC+DL or DC+DR. And one AMR and that should be alright. If you get thos, u can play almost any formation u want.
You my man are a true gem!

Thanks ever soo much for that explanation of the whole red and blue arrows! So in other words its pretty useless unless you dont have the necessary players to combat your opponents tactics.. I always used to put arrows on everyone all blue for my dmc and defence. And all red for mc and st!!

Need to use them wisely now! As for your advice on players I just signed a MC youngers 20 quality (34) 5star.. i DEFFO need a DC - DR and DC - DL.. As far as that is considered What else needs changing? Is my team good enough?

Thanks a lot and if i could buy you drink now I would
