It all depends how you set up those wide players in FIFA / FC games: as wing backs they stay wide and return to defend. However, as RM and LM they always creep to the inside (even though you give instructions to stay wide) and they neither support defence or attack that much, which leaves the back three very vulnerable as centre backs are usually not very fast or agile.
- @LABoog4 I find the foirmation changes to result in dramatically different results - often ridiculously so.
I have struggled in some matches only to find a tweak suddenly makes the opposition really bad and I rattle in goals. Even just sometimes getting my front two to change places can make a big difference.
It's never quite so dramatic in real life, but there you go.
