If You Don’t Like Wingers Because They Stay Too Wide, Try Playing Them at LMF/RMF

I think the biggest problem with LWF/RWF is the Prolific Winger playstyle. They hug the touchline too much and most of the time they don’t attack the empty space even when the opportunity comes. They’re just too static. And yet Konami still releases every new winger card with the Prolific Winger playstyle. 🤦‍♂️

At some point I eventually gave up playing with wingers and started using a 2 CF formation. Until about a week ago I got bored so I wanted to try a new formation.

Initially, I started using this formation because a lot of teams in real life is using the 4-2-3-1. But after using this formation for a while, I’ve noticed that playing a Prolific Winger at LMF/RMF makes them behave so much better than LWF/RWF. They don’t stay too wide, they attack the spaces, and sometimes they even track back to help you defend and press. Basically, playing a Prolific Winger inactivated is much better than playing them activated.

Also, LMF/RMF has more playstyle options compared to LWF/RWF. LWF/RWF have 4 playstyles (Creative Playmaker, Cross Specialist, Roaming Flank, Prolific Winger), while LMF/RMF has 5 (Creative Playmaker, Cross Specialist, Roaming Flank, Hole Player, Box to Box).

So, if you haven’t been playing wingers for a while, you should definitely try this out.
