My wingers stopped playing on the flanks to go defend midfield

[Altiplano]

This particular trait of wingers came about with the arrival of the 2018 edition and the new, but totally unusable squad screen layout.
Try putting your wingers as far out wide as you can. Imagine they're standing behind the linesmen.
My two wingers are absolute stars, but yes they're often to be found in MC positions or even ambling towards the penalty area waiting for a cross from one of my MCs.

As you can see in the picture, Miziar is totally wide and far attacking, and Abdar is closer to the MCs, yet Abdar (12) is acting as an AML as you can see in the pictures, so I have no clue...
