Hi Guys.
Just a little bit about my team before I get into the issue(s) that are driving me loopy!
I'm Blackpool manager, am in 2022 and have had huge success in the league and in Europe - yet for some reason, my players still don't perform as they should, in terms of tactics and general performance.
I play a 352 with 2 wingers, 1 DLP 1 BWM an attacking playmaker and an AF + Poacher.
My issue is with certain members of my squad who 'should' based on their stats and personality, be unplayable.
The particular players are my wingers and DLP.
My DLP (as shown below) - has both the stats and PPM to spray the ball around like confetti all around the park. I have tried EVERYTHING to make him play long spraying passes all across the pitch but all he ever does is pass it backwards or sideways 5 yards. Sure, his pass completion is very good but I don't understand why he refuses to play the passes that he PREFERS(!!!) to do?

Then, we have my wingers. They have amazing stats in order to supply goals for my forwards, but both of them barely set up any goals! Again, I've tried changing their instructions etc but their crosses are major failsView attachment 349388View attachment 349389
My striker that they are supplying to is brutally good in the air, and he wins most headers that are thrown his way, so I know that it's not a case of awful finishing that is ruining their assist numbers

Any advice? Again, I've tried everything in terms of their instructions, creativity, floating/drill crosses etc.
I'm at a loss! HELP!
Ty in advance.
