Through balls rare and a defensive mentality of the 2 main.

The former being because if he puts through balls in then he may bypass the CM to the wingers/strikers with a direct pass or he may put pressure on the CM.

Generally i would have them passing short/mixed so that they look for the first easiest option which hopefully should be your Lampard/Deco.

Fowards Runs/Run with ball are dependant on how you want them to play. Forward runs mixed would be acceptable because you do want them to sometimes however you may not want them to run with the ball as they may not be good enough and may be dispossesed.

Crossing i'd put on rare to prevent any deep crossing.

For marking i would have them zonal marking so that they're covering their area of the pitch between the Midfield and Defense. Otherwise if they're Man marking they may track the AM in addition to 1 of ur CM's and wonder out of positition. I almosts see a zonal DM as a sweeper of the midfield.

Also have them closing down rare/mixed so they don't rush out of position and get skinned. However you may be able to increase this dependant on their anticipation, decisions, and tackling.
 
I use Angelo Palombo as def mid in my Man City team. His instructions are:
Mentality: 6-7 clicks to the right
Creativity: 11-14 clicks to the right
Fwd Runs: Mixed
Run with ball: Rare
Long Shots: Always
Through ball: Mixed
Cross ball: Mixed
Cross From: Deep
Cross Aim: Mixed
Hold up Ball
At times I give him free role coz he's very creative. Due to his stats, I give him high creative freedom and his long shooting is also good. So, I gie him the freedom to go front at times and to shoot at sight. His rating is always 7.5+.
He picked up the World player of the year in my (& his) first season 8-|
