By increasing Donkey Kong's Strength and Passing, which are his highest stats, he becomes a buffed defender that can handle the ball without getting downed or stunned and make good passes to his teammates behind the center line.

Take note that he will lose a lot of Speed with this set, so defending against speedsters will make it hard for him. You can select this gear set if you have teammates that can cover your weakness.
