He still performs really well offensively. When I have no arrow, he loose less conditioning and when I have an offensive arrow, he seems to loose even less conditioning (the lowest of all the players on my team).


It's definitely wild speculation, but it had me thinking that arrows on AMs relieves them of defensive duties or add defensive duties to their game.
This makes complete sense, not speculation, because the AMx is in the offensive zone naturally so they have to run more to cover defensively and back forward to be offensive (with blue arrows).
Red arrows would make them stay in the offensive zone more and less in defensive zone, so less running up and down the field.
