Hi, as above. Have had relative success playing WBs set to support but since the patch I have been leaking goals all due to crosses flying in and my WBs getting ratings of 5.6-6.1. Tactics are fully trained etc. Any advice or thoughts?
 
if i understand well your team concedes alot from opposition wingers/winger backs all from crosses ? a choice is to put your defensive line to drop deeper and also set the duties of your Central defenders both to Cover to go even more deep than defensive line to clear the crosses . I hope i helped you.
 
My wingbacks (att) get assists and goals all over the place, average ratings of 7.0-8.5

Definitely not broken! In fact they get more crosses since the patch!

Yes this is exactly the issue, thanks bud I'll try out this advice.

Not really the question, my issue has been their poor defensive plays even though I haven't changed anything. Thanks for input though.

2 cover duties for central def usually allows too much space in front of the defence to play in.
Bad idea.

@op : if you got 2 attacking wing backs, you might try to give the support duty to a central def/box to boxer in the appropriate side of the pitch, in order to cover and close down the opposition wingers.

Depends on the formation of his team and the roles he has on his players.If its a formation with a DM not really a problem.

yes I play two IFs, and three in midfield with a DM set as anchorman to try to add stability.
