Arrows: Does UP arrows on DL/DR expose me to counters? I'm not sure but I sometimes don't use them
@pcmac, I had consistent, really good luck with up arrow on dr normal and attacking flanks mixed or middle for most of my first seasons. I also played up on both dr and dl very successfully, goals often for both players, back when I played narrow diamond often.

So it doesn't have to mean opening up to counter attack. I found the risk is if your dx has an up arrow and opposing AMx has an attacking arrow, you might be open to cards and injury, especially the case of there is a large space between him and next player, is dr to amr is more likely to foul than dr with mr on the same team.
