I just started a new game with Milan. The original tactics is the 4-1-2-1-2, in real life, the DMF in front of the backfour is Pirlo. Which he is boss. But, in game, Pirlo never do good on that position. I think its a problem of my player instruction. I set him as 'Mitfielder', with Run With Ball set to Often, and Through Ball also 'Often'. But all he got was like 6s in everygame (unless he scored a freekick or made corner assist). I don't wanna put him in MC, because I prefer to put 'workers' like Ambrosini or Seedorf there. Or even Beckham. So, I would like to put Pirlo in the DMC positon. Pirlo is even listed as 'the best defensive midfielder', although he possess no defensive qualities. Is it even possible, from the DMC position, to make him always set up the long through balls he always do IRL? What would you recommend for him?

Maybe we could change his position slightly in the new release as he is more defensive.

You could try to put him in DMC and put the arrow up to centre midfield position? Dont know if that would work well?

argh, i'm getting frustrated with pirlo. Playing him in the midfield requires a good DMC to cover for his lack of defending abilities. But he doesn't offer much creativity either, as of I know of, Pirlo-type anchor style is not in the game.
Putting him in DMC with arrows to MC only leave a hole in the midfield, and by then he'd already passed the ball to Kaka/Seedorf. And he'll just stands there like an idiot.
I think we should give him a long pass accuracy , throughpass, and creativity of 20.

I always have trouble with DMCs in my FM08 games, they always have low scores be it Pirlo or... Huddlestone!! Very annoying.
I got Pirlo for Spurs for FM09 and he was incredible when I put him in AMC with a back arrow to DMC. Sketchy but it worked.

Ive got Kevin Thomson playing as my DMC for Newcastle and he is simply awesome! I have him with Tackling hard and playing defensively with low freedom and short passing... works a treat.
This lets my creative players (Nolan and Guillerme) get forward and score goals whilst Thomson clears up behind them.

you could even set him as your playmaker as he will have more opportunities with the ball, just an option, could work.
