Since you ok’d arguing.....
The problem with the offense generated by outside backs vs wingers is the overall ability on the ball in the box. Outside backs typically head to the endline and fire in crosses (ours to nobody). Wingers are typically better on the ball and hence have the ability to play in tight spaces and freelance. I’d personally rather have speedy wingers chip in on defense when needed but focus on punishing on the attack over defenders that may not be needed depending on tactics of opponent (ie one forward setup or even 2 with 4 defenders) who then push up into the attack but aren’t really capable of being wholly effective.
