Difference Between Att Mids and Wingers

Hi. What's the difference between LW/RW and AML/AMR? I need to choose training schedules for my players but some players are on the wing but wing is also att mid in the game.

Bump .

There's no need to bump your thred after 30mins.

Beckham is a MR and Lennon is AMR

Yeh but you cannot set your players to MR. Their is midfielder and winger...

Attacking midfielder is positioned in front of the midfield players but behind the strikers, they are usually on the wings and they usually have a more attacking mentality than wingers. Hope that helps

The traditional Winger position is actually called the Wing Forward position. The technical difference between a Winger and a wide Attacking Midfielder would be that a Winger is infact a Forward and not a Midfielder nor an Attacking Midfielder.

In modern football the traditional Winger is rarely seen in colloqiual formation recognition and discussion, generally because formation structure is easiest to recognise in defence where a Wing Forward would take up a midfield position, but Wing Forward positions and Wing Forward play remain very much a staple of attacking play, where formation structure is often more difficult to recognise.

A true Winger in comparison to a true Wide Attacking Midfielder would be a more direct goalscoring threat utilising dribbling ability and movement to defeat the opposing fullback and provide either a cross or a shot or a cut back pass whereas the Wide Attacking Midfielder would generally look to utilise his passing ability and vision to accurately pick out Forward players with crosses or through balls from behind the Forward line. A great example of the difference between the two roles would be Ryan Giggs and David Beckham. Giggs perhaps the epitome of the Wing Forward in his prime and Beckham perhaps the epitome of the Wide Attacking Midfielder in his prime.
