Has playing a DMC worked for you defensively?

[Skidz]

I nearly always play with a DMC it is most essential to my 3w-1-4w-2 formation!, it acts as extra cover for my defence and links up with my attacking midfield, you can play a blue arrow on him if you want to be more defensive but in general I play with a red the same as all for midfield and strikers.
I prefer to get him with the playmaker SA if possible but its not essential, you can always tweak your orders to how attacking/ defencive you wish to play which is how I do it.
