Why would a manager opt to integrate one over the other in a formation?

I know this is a very open-ended question, but I am trying to lay the groundwork in discovering whether I upgrade my wingers or invest in forwards.

Something about RF/LF is better than RW/LW, otherwise the prices would be equal. However, I have a similar thing with LB/RB (as opposed to LDF/RDF) and I've worked my formation so that they compete just as well. Do whatever you think is best. 02/01/2014 05:30

It's all about how well you can figure them out. If you look at division 1 and 2 you'll see every different type of player represented in teams starting XI's wings are traditionally cheaper because they're a little harder to use, but some teams have been absolutely dominant using them.

Wings are a bit faster but less accurate when it comes to scoring, I utilized wings for a few seasons as subs that came on for my forwards and then used their speed to run their way past tired defenders.

Most people with wings have a CF that racks up goals.

Yes good point. Using wings on their own is a little harder without the guy in the middle to score the goals. It's still very doable, but probably not at the elite level.

So, it seems the answer - putting it simply - is to start with a RF/LF combination and at about the hour mark, introduce the RW/LW. The reason behind this is to expose the tiredness of defenders.

However, a high-quality CF is required due to the goals needing to be scored.

This statement doesn't underestimate those who train wingers to a very high status. In fact, it promotes winger trainers.

Sound right?

i would say wings are very good at dragging your opponents defenders out wide leaving your CF in the middle with less traffic to run through. then again you could do exactly the same thing with RM/LM.

all depends on how you want your forwards to play, i train rf & lf merely because they get me more money than if i was to train wings, but i am switching to wings just cos im bored of xFs now lol

For me its Wings..They are good in speed and when they reached goal area they are crossing the ball nicely and CF can be scored well.Instead of when you are using RF/LF combination players gathering and oponent defence are gathering too..
But wingers make the defence scatter..

If you can afford it and have the roster space..

But it would take some dedication to master the use of both...hmmm I just acquired an awesome LF....
