When to use arrows

[FC Sanguis]

Yes, with a red arrow, the player will act as the position ahead of when attacking, and his own position when defending.
DR with red arrows = DMR on attack and DR when defending.
With blue arrows, DMC = DC when defending, DMC when attacking.

Strikers don't need red arrows.
Defenders and goalkeepers don't need blue arrows.

I usually only put red arrows if you are attacking on that side.
Attacking down the wings = red arrows on wide players, from DL to AML, DR to AMR.
Attacking through the middle = red arrows on central players, AMC and maybe MCs.
You'll need to balance it with some blue arrows elsewhere, though.

Are you sure about this? I have nothing to base it on but i thought if i set my team attacking but lets say i want to keep my LB AND RB from going forward too much then placing a blue arrow on them will mean they are more like "balanced" mentality.
Basically i thought it will set the player one step back for blue or one step forward for red from the overall team mentality?

i noticed i dominate the mid more when asking my fullbacks to attack .. so it could be true.. as I think we are starting to outnumber them .. same for my AML/AMR when ask them to attack, i lose possession

You have more possession because your team is stronger and you attacking. To test this do the same against a stronger opponent or a more midfield based squad!

but when i ask my AMR/AML to attack i lose possession
and that was tested against a team who was one star better than mine and i draw away 2-2
