I agree with the above, it could be more helpful if you shared which midfielders you had at your disposal. I'm assuming Dani is your DM. If you're in season one I would suggest Pjanic as advanced playmaker & Gago as deep lying playmaker. Personally, I use Dani as the DLP & Gago as anchor, but...
I have another question, once again related to shouts. Does anybody know the manual setting I can input in my tactics so that the 'look for overlap' is part of my tactic even when I don't use any shouts? Sorry if wrong wording.
