Attacking runs
Let me be honest. Based on the current state of attacking AI, it genuinely feels as if the team responsible for player movement has very little understanding of how modern football is actually played...

I agree completely with this. I'm currently using false 9, short passing in an attempt to get my attackers to position themselves away from defenders and nothing seems to work. I've noticed that in the attacking 3rd, my attackers are pushed right up against defenders or even offside.
My suggestion is to have some kind of option that changes the timing of attacking movement. I'd say I'm an average player so I often need to dribble with a midfielder for a second or two to get clear of a defender before I have an open pass into an attacker. My attackers have already made their run in that time and are offside when I'm in a position to pass to them. The whole thing feels out of sync.
Having an option to adjust the timing would allow players to choose what works best for them based on their playstyle.
