Well, obviously you are not winning midfield but you are decreasing the gap and sufficiently. I have also liked wingers offensive a lot but the actual results of many tries and lost games suggest the opposite. For example, many midfield teams play both wingers offensive. They need it to compensate for lack of the third forward. That actually opens a window to get at them in some area where they are not as strong as they might think. Which is improving defense and midfield. When you have 3 strong forwards, you still get a very reasonable attack rating at least in the middle and on wings it can be at least weak very high or inadequate very low or low. That might be sufficient to score a few goals. Then, you don't need to have excellent attack to score against weak defense, passable would be completely OK, even inadequate should be fine unless you are extremely unlucky. However, each level up in midfield makes a huge difference. Similarly, each level in your defense makes difference as well because of his not so strong attack.
