My aml/amr is in exactly same postion as yours.

I think my striker is a bit weak as a lone striker because he cant score a lot for some reason, so i tried to play with 2 strikers and 3defenders today. I won 1-0 but still i see in animation that players cant find proper way where to pass a ball. So i gonna stick with 2 strikers formation for some time and see how results gonna be.
What i see that i have low shots on target after matches - like from 2-5 mostly. What can be reasons for this i dont know, maybe you?
"Hm, putting dr/dl above the box makes them wingbacks and it would be a bit risky, isn't it?" i mean if they are wingbacks it could make you have more chances on goals right? which might add to more shots and more shots on target

"Same with dc, pushing them backwards make them like sweepers because their animation changes." putting them closer to the goal might help with defending your goal ?

I am not sure but i did have trouble concending a lot then i changed the way the defenders are pushing them back (Not down arrows) just back a bit or closing their gap a bit and i started conceneding less

I also had trouble scoring like even agaisnt lower % teams i would score 1 or 2 goals until i moved the DL/DR up a bit

I guess it is just a bit of trial and error and what works for some might not work for others i seen so many formaion tutorials where people are like "best formation" and i tried it and it ends up bad
