AML and ST are not involved in the game

First of all my tactic

My CMs combine very well. AMR also is doing quite okay, but my AML and ST are the worst. Not involved in the game at all, they dont recieve any passes. For example my AMR have around 50 recieved passes per game. My AML and ST have around 20 each. In my opinion roles are well balanced so I dont really know what its wrong. I have DLF-S to come deeper, be part of the combination, creating space for other players.

My AML has comes deep to get ball trait, so he logically has to be involved in the building up.

Overall because of that I am not creating a lot of chances and really struggling with goals.

Tried having DLP-S on MCL and CM-A on MCR but that combination was even worse.

Your ball playing defender and deep lying playmaker are all on the right side hence the ball will naturally gravitate towards that side. A W(A) by nature will drive towards the byline to put in a cross which you have no players to take advantage of since your inverted winger and deep lying forward are on support duty. Coupled that with your positive mentality and higher tempo your attacks is more direct but the role selection is not taking advantage of that. Your wingback on attack might also affect the performance of your left inverted winger. You should also pay attention to the movement of your CM(A) to see if he blocks your inverted winger when cutting inside.

Actually I gave up on 3 CM, put one on AM position.

Now it looks like this. Help me tweak it a bit cause I am not creating chances from open play.

Looks good to me if you are going for more direct attack. At this point start watching your match in more detail and see if the tactic need further tweaking against different opposition. Remember in order to succeed in the long run, you need to learn to make small tweaks against different situations.

There's a lot of people on another thread who have tried moving the CMs to the DM strata to free up the AMC and seems to have been very successful. 

On the first tactic I'm really surprised switching the DLP and CM(a) was worse! Did you ever try the DLF on attack duty?
