Wingbacks play like wingers going forward. It's the wrong role if you don't want them running at people.

well this was the player:

he is the best attacking full back in my squad and gets a lot of assists but also wastes too many chances to cross... could it also be the "cuts inside" ppm?

i dont remember the body language but he normally is composed in most games

More info is needed here. You should post the entire setup or at least list the Mentality and Team Instructions.

set up was:

could it be the retain possession thing?

what do i have to tell my fullbacks to cross in this situations, i don't want them to get into the area too often as they simply lose too many 1vs1 dribblings just like in this situation, he dribbles and the outcome is a corner because the defender gets in the way - and as you can see we have a perfect positioning inside the box .

in this specific situation he is a WB(a) with no added PI's

Hey there, i have read in a few articals on counterpressing in the fm series that it goes hand in hand with a fluid - very fluid - shape (due to the defensive responsibilities of all teammates when it come to closing down high up the pitch)

is that a made rule? i might like using more specialist in my set up, but according to the way a team reacts to fluid shapes the one thing would rule the other one out wouldnt it?

example borussia dortmund:

spacial roles here:

hummels - bpd

gündogan - roaming/deep lying playmaker

mkhitaryan - wide playmaker

reus - raumdeuter

but the team itself is one of the best german counterpressing teams - emulating that in fm would be very difficult i guess? how do you go about solving this isssue?

using "normal" roles an tweaking them with player instructions?

example gündogan:

cm(s) - more risky passes, roam from position

thanks for your input
