As a rule of thumb, for FLAT formations I like to use

Passing Mixed
Passing Style Mixed

Unless I have one outstanding winger then I pass thru him.

The other orders are up to your preference.

Secondly, playing 2 DMCs, I'd go for a wide back 3 with blue arrows on the DMC. Then given the thin attacking options, I'd use Normal mentality. should work some times but not all the time.

DR---DC---DL
--DMC-DMC--
-----MC-----
AMR-----AML
----ST-ST----

Blue arrows on the DMCs, Red arrows on AMR/AML

or you can play ML/MR instead of AMR/AML

This is what I use. Some may have a different opinion.

I'd use Normal and go Attacking if I'm struggling.
Play down both flanks or mixed depending on your strength (good wingers then play down the wings). Offside on
Zonal marking.
Tackling Hard.
Press own half.
Short passes if playing AML/AMR. Mixed Passing if playing ML/MR
