Talisman, i think that is matter where you put aml/amr. If you put them to the red zone of the box (see the picture), then they play on the side. Otherwise, if you put them to the black zone - it would be a scenario i draw in this picture. Try it and you see.
So conclusion is - if aml/amr are displayed as a striker (for example 4-1-2-3) than they play in the middle. If they are displayed as side attacking midfielders (4-1-2-2-1) than they play like it should be on the side.
Hypothesis - programing cant understand side strikers so all formation with his scheme goes wrong.
