Can't get my wingers to work.

[DutchLegend]

Playing with Ajax, wanting to play like I think Ajax should:

The idea is relatively quick passing game, wingers and a "10" that can slot in his fair amount of goals.

I play as follows:

FB-> support (Vd Wiel)
CB-Ballplaying (Alderweireld)
CB-> defend (Vertonghen)
FB-> Support (Pamic)
CM-> Ballwinning/box-to-box (De Zeeuw)
CM->DL playmaker (Lodeiro)
AMR-> Winger Attack (Torje)
AMC-> Trequartista (Luiz Suarez)
AML-> Winger Attack (Emanuelson)
ST-> ADv Forward (Christian Benitez)

Tried playing short passing, but with Width quite some nothes up and tempo relatively high.

Problems:

Suarez isn;t scoring, despite retraining and my Assistant putting him on that spot aswell.

Wingers are;t often involved in the game (getting to passing down both flanks)-> Ball usually goes to Striker.

Conceding a bag full of goals, managed to be 32 games in and only get 64 points (miracle I am tied for 1st place)

I considered playing with a target man

OR

A DL forward, and set my DL a couple of notches less offensive then the Trequartista.

Alternatively, I guess I could work with inside forwards and have my AMC more of a playmaker role.

What I would like to know, if you have any ideas about:

Width, tempo, d-line and passing style, both for possession and decent defense?

How to get my wingers more involved?

How to get my striker/Trequartista set-up working?

Loads of questions, but some feedback would be appreciated

Should add: Really want my wingers set to Winger status and a trequartista, although I guess one to inside forward would work.

Despite all the negative, I managed to scrounge my way into the Cl final, tactic as I am playing seems to work better in Europe then inside Holland, with away results to Chelsea (0-1), Roma (0-4). Beyond that, I am usually getting outplayed away from home.

I think playing your Treq with your Advanced Forward as a pair of strikers would work better, at least from my experience (are your wingers passing to benitez? Try setting him to Poacher instead of Advanced, Advanced Forwards have some tendency to knock in crosses)

Since you want to play quick passing I think you'll have to play a higher tempo, I'd keep passing style as default, not too sure about the d-line myself

Maybe give your wingers more creative freedom too

Just add 'Play Down Flanks'

Allright.

Situation changed a tadbit.

I now have wonderkid Babacar at my disposal, who seems to work best as a Targetman.

Changed my AMC to Attacking midfielder instead of Trequartista.

Sold Suarez, and got a beastly transfer budget, so taking time to let the whole team gel and see how it works.

Thanks for the tips on the passing, going to give that a go.
