Good advice, but to red arrow all the back seem a lot of work for them, don't you think?
Consider with The 4-4-2 Narrow Diamond, red the AMC and Blue or Neutral the DMC.
Attack, "Thru the Middle", own, hard, short.... Force Counter, No off. {he did say the opponent was stronger}
If you need to red any Ds just DL/DR, but consider this, he has 4 wingers ML/MR/DL/DR best to stay put, or even blue the wing defenders.
Arrows come with a weight or a cost, they are not a freebie, use all you want, the more arrows you use, the more your player has to work, slower and less efficient in covering his default position.
If you can get what you want and achieve your GOAL with less arrows use less arrows. Little things matter when facing equal or stronger opponents.
Just my two cents, no flames please.
Peace out!
