Defensive Central Midfielders Pushing Too High

[toygungoktas]

I am playing a defensive 4-3-3 to try to hold on to the score and I see on highlights that both my CMs keep pushing to opponent's box. Have you noticed something similar to this? Am I missing something? Maybe is it because of counter team instruction? 

This is my team and player instructions:

What are the PI's, player instructions, and then more importantly, what are the player traits? Player traits, like gets further forward, or moves into channels, could definitely impact the movement despite the defensive duties in the player role setting.

Use 3 DM if you want them to stay back. Double SV with a DM(d) should be better and it's very solid. If you want all 3 to stay back, DM(s) and a defensive 6 as an extreme option

I don't have the game on this device to check, but I seem to remember that the Counter instruction sends everyone from the midfield line (and higher) forward.  The transition screen will show arrows going forward for everyone it impacts.
