defence is pretty standard, as for the rest of the team:
DM: Anchorman (limited Creative Freedom, short passing - wins the ball and passed to the DLP)
CM: Deep-Lying Playmaker (lots of CF, mixed passing, TBs on often - everything goes through this guy)
AML/R: Inside Forwards (very defensive mentality so they track back, cut inside (works well with attacking FBs over-lapping), high TBs, roaming)
STCR: Trequartista (high CF, high TBs)
STLC: Poacher (didn't change much from the default Poacher settings)
as for LBs, Dodo has a minimum release fee of £1.5m at the start of the game, was awesome for me on my Villa save, plays best as a WB but can do a job at FB.
