I always play with red arrows on ML and MR, or a AML and AMR (without arrows). Last season my feeling was that even with "wide tactics" you will always score more goals if you are attacking through the middle. Im not sure about this anymore because of the new match engine.
Yes, they (ST & widemen) should be at least scoring against bots or illegal formations or teams with a non-GK playing GK. That's just my opinion on how I judge my strikers. I had a "dud" last season but he came good this season. Just probably letting him get past his down cycle.

I agree that playing thru the middle even with wingers you are still able to score loads of goals. I used this last season, going thru the middle with a hexagon formation and was the second highest goal tally in my league. It frees up your wingers to find space. I have not tried this in the new season tho.
