When playing 3 defenders a DMC is essential for back up!, no need for blues on any defenders.
Depending on how attack minded you want to be! play red arrows on the DMC!.
Red arrows on all midfield and strikers.
Orders... Attacking, passing Mixed, Close down own half, Hard tackling when playing stronger opponenets or if you are being over run during live matches, Normal for lower quality teams( DO NOT BE AFRAID OF PLAYERS BEING SENT OFF!!!,) You can always take of a player
if you think he is acting to aggressive and has been yellow carded!.
Mixed focus passing, zonal marking always!, NO force counter attacks!, play offsides.
Uhm, frankly, i dont agree to put a red arrow on DMC (unless he is capable playing MC with power training), DMC might appear with DC position as well. This was why i said it is ok to put blue arrow on those with 2 position capability. For 3-1-4-2, you can put blue arrow on middle to make him act as sweeper. Red on Sts is optional, but important if you want to play normal with long ball and counter. If you want to put red arrow on winger, make sure your mr can play as amr, and same story with your ml. If not, they will not perform effectively and achieve very bad rating. I am happy to put a blue arrow on Mr or ml if they can play as dmr/l as well as it doesnt mean the winger with blue arrow wont attack, they just do it less than normal but help defending more and as a result they have better rating.
