what do the arrows mean?

It's their conditioning I think, blue and purple being bad and orange and red being good. The blue and purple ones used to make players slow, sluggish, immobile and generally a lot worse, but now that players are like that with a red arrow i'm not sure what difference they actually make.

i though it actually increased the players stat points or decreased them? well it used to. so if unhappy the stats would drop. and vise virsa but i might be wrong
I believe it's Form. each player has a form stat which can go up to about 7 or 8 i think, the higher that stat is the more often they are on a red or orange arrow. being in red or orange arrow(form) increases stats blue and purple decreases them.....It's rarely i play a player who has a purple arrow.
Probably get some replies saying how wrong I am now lol

Every player has a form stat (ranging from 1-8, 8 being the 'best').
This form stat influences the type of arrow the player gets on matchday. If its green, his stats remain identical. If its pointing up or diagonally up (red/orange) then the player is in good form and his stats are increased. Vice versa for the arrow pointing down and diagonally down (purple and light blue): the players stats will be decreased.
This basically means that players like Adriano and the Brazilian Ronaldo, (who both have pretty good stats) will generally play much poorer then the stats suggest, as they have a low Form stat so the chance is big they get arrows pointing downwards. You will notice this when playing Master League or Online matches. In exhibition matches you can select the option to set the form of the entire team to the green arrow, meaning every player's stats are those you see on screen.
The exact increase/descrease in stats is uncertain, it's obviously a percentage drop though. I once saw this page though:

Its a chart with the percentage drop for each stats, so say you have shooting 100 if you have a arrow pointing down then in that match you'd have 91 instead.
