Description of issue
I've noticed that every team that we play against who play with a back four almost always use the IWB and IFB roles even when it is not realistic to real life. I get that some teams do play with those roles (Manchester City) but I have played against Tottenham and Chelsea for example who most certainly don't use those roles in real life as their full backs are very much more suited to being wide playing full backs.
I get that the new IFB role is exciting (and one of my tactical options includes it too) but for every single AI team to have that set up makes it seem very unrealistic. I've been watching a couple of the content creators too on their saves and I have noticed the exact same thing happening in their games too.
These are my opposition line ups for the first 5 games of the season (the only team that didn't have one of these roles were Sheffield United as they played with three at the back instead):
