I'm not sure it's the right question. Number 10 is one way of setting up a team, which is generally understood to play behind a 9, in a midfield with a 6 and a 8. We don't really play like that under RDZ. It's more that there are pairs:
-- 2 CBs
-- either 2 FBs or a RB/RW combo and a LB/LW combo
-- 2 CMs -- whose role shifts slightly according to personnel and where we are in/up the pitch
-- 2 forwards
When we play out from defence, it's noticeable that the two wingers are usually noticeably more advanced up the pitch than the two forwards, who look to find space between their midfield (who are usually pressing) and their CBs (who would prefer not to venture too high up the pitch).
When we have the ball in their half, things become a little more fluid.
