How have you set him up so far?

I'd advise against giving him a defensive mentality as he'll drop into the back four.

mentality: 10-12
Closing Down: 20 or would it be best to have one on 20 and one on 10

What do you want him to do?

10-12 would be alright in my eyes, although 20 closing down would lead to him being pulled out of position a lot.

well really my biggest problem is what closing down to use I've never used two defensive midfielders at the same time:


ML---------------MR
-----DMC--DMC------

i want the two DMC to protect the CB without both of them chasing the same person and leaving a hole in the formation

Well then I would go for 12-15 in Closing Down

As I'm having success with the Rule of One, I suggest you set the DM's mentality one notch above the fullbacks'.

Also, I like them to close down at 12-15, like ZiqXx recommends.

I personally think one DMC is enough, no need for two in my eyes.
