Where would you have the fullbacks position themselves then?

Any closer to the centre backs and they cannot get out to close down quick enough, and if they go wider there is a gap between centre backs and fullbacks either for the diagonal ball for the wide player or straight ball for the central strickers running wide.

The fullbacks must position themselves so that they cover the distance to the wide player as quickly as the ball can reach them, its the same for all defenders
