Red arrow on AMC, blue arrows on ML and MR. Attacking mentality with short passes through the middle, own half pressure, zonal marking. No counter attacks, offside traps if your GK is better than his ST. I would normally suggest hard tackling, but he's your friend, so the choice is yours.
That is how I usually play, unfortunately my DMR/MR is playing very bad, with low form and bad stats, though I never used him in the cup so far, and I noticed Cup stats are sometimes very different from League or CL stats. My MR/AMR on the other hand is in very good form, with lots of assists, goals and good stats, yet if I use him with arrow down he might not perform as well. Guess I have a few hours to think about my options.

By the way, does anybody know: If I use up arrows, how far up does the player go? For instance: if I use up arrow on a DR will he go as far as DMR or will he climb all the way up to help the ST with a cross or something?
