No, that's not true. If you put an up-arrow to DL, you saw him a lot of times near the opponent box.
Today, I put a DL to max. offensive position and he wasn't a single time near the opponent box - games was won 6:0
So Saucy... what's with the wastes greens, if you had already a DR/DMR? And what with the waste skill points, what also costs a lot of T/greens?
